A "MEDIUM ERROR" is a problem with the disk media itself. On the face of
it, it seems like you've got a bad disk. Have you been getting more and
more of these? That's usually a sure sign that the disk is wearing out
and will soon be completely useless.
Do you get this error when reading particular files? If you can't read
the file one time and you can read it another time, there's a chance that
it's software, I suppose.
