Suddenly, I'm seeing the following error messages in /var/log/syslog:

The drive (hda) is only 4 months old.  Could it being dying already?  :-(

How can I determine in which partition(s) the errors are occurring?

Is there anything I can do to "save" the drive?

Thanks for your comments!
It seems to be dying

best solution (IMHO) -> make backups, get a new drive ASAP
