Hello ,
	I am having a lot of problems with my HDD .
	I have installed linux RedHat-ver-4.0.0 ,
	  with kernel ver 2.0.18.
	
	The error format is like this:

	--------------------------------------------------------
	scsidisk I/O Error: dev 08:05 , sector XXXXXX
	scsi0: MEDIUM ERROR channel 0, id 6, lun 0, CDB: 
	Request Sense 00 00 00 10 00
	Current error sr08:05 : sense key medium error
	Additional sense indicates unrecoverd key medium error 
	------------------------------------------------------------

	During the kernel compilation I had given ,
         CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C7xx=y
	 CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C7xx_sync=y
	 CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C7xx_FAST=y
	 CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C7xx_DISCONNECT=y

	
	Initially I had thought that there is some problem with 
	the Linux software which I got in the CD's , so I changed the
	kernel with another (slackware) ,which was working perfectly on 
        the other machine. Error are continuing , but errors after picking 
        the new kernel may be due to bad-sectors created previously.

	I tried to install linux on a new machine , but again,same
	are problems comming , the machines were previously 
	ok with Win-95 OS.

	Only the istalled LILO is same for both machines.

	I will be very thankfull for the solution.

			Regards,
				Rohit Srivastava.
