If you havent tweaked up your ide interface settings (using bios/hdparm), it could mean simply BAD sectors on the disk. Backup the disk if anything important is there and format it once. formatting will not take the errors away but will mark the bad sectors off the way. Same can be achieved with fsck without formatting if I remember well. or is it the case that you have connected old hdd in a new machine? you may try to disable DMA mode using hdparm but BAD sectors is my first bet.
