palimpsest says that i have 553 bad sectors.
make a fsck? how?
apocalypsis? Help, please!

I've noticed that when I open any program that uses flash (either firefox or totem) is when the computer freezes (about 5 seconds.) It is because the flash libraries are in a bad sector?

Now I've discovered that it seems that the partition (or hard disk readable limits) do not fit with the 160 GB total should have. Also, dmesg "says" I have a "DDRY error"

im sorry to tell you this, but you'll have to reinstall Ubuntu and say "erase and use entire hardrive" as your option. its a corrupted drive, i use to have one just be sure to back up before you reinstall(if you can)

[argos3016]

Begin to be afraid. Well, googling, I discovered that there are not (in any forum of ubuntu or even linux) anyone who has given a real solution to the (now famous) "ata1.00", "(UNC)" or " DDRY." One solution would be to download the manufacturer's tool, Seagate, functioning only in * indows (personally, I do not want to go to the "dark side "...). In summary:
-It's a physical error or just software? As I can know?
-I'm wasting my time? Should I buy a new one?
-I should (embarassing...) go to the" dark side "TEMPORARILY?

Please check the attachments...

To answer your question, fails even having done that ... I'm going back to, just in case ...

make a fsck? how?

To safely run fsck use

sudo touch /forcefsck

and on the next reboot it will start the fsck checking like if it had reached 30 boots.

Any time you want to force the system to do a fsck, give the above command and reboot.

Sounds like your problem goes even deeper like you said though. I don't have a solution for it. I stopped buying Seagate drives years ago. Warranty it out if you can and tell them you're aware of the problems with that model and would like another model if at all possible.

[argos3016]

Well, the computer takes all night with the last command "fsck -f -v -y /dev/sda." And not for printing:
"Error reading block ******* (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulting in short read) while reading inode Indirect blocks of ******* Ignore error? Yes

Force rewrite? yes "
I suppose it is fixing ...
