Hmm...that is very suspicious. Stuff like that typically happens to me on CD's when they are damaged.

I suggest you fill out a support ticket quick and have SB replace that disc ASAP and copy what you can off there.

These errors do not always indicate a failing drive, unless you start to see them on a frequent basis. The errors you pasted means the drive did not respond as quickly as the IDE controller was expecting it to, so it had to reset the bus. At the worst you might notice some lag on the system while this is happening. If you get these errors fairly often, it might indicate more serious problems.

If you install smartmontools or smartsuite you can get more diagnostic information from the SMART firmware on the drive itself. You can find both of these packaged in Debian or on http://www.freshmeat.net
