Topic: kernal hard drive errors

I have been having problem with my companies SME 5.6 server over the last month that causes the system to crash.  I found something in the logs about a hard drive error and thought some you could shed some light for me.  If you need more info let me know.

Apr  8 02:35:15 firewall kernel: hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
Apr  8 02:35:15 firewall kernel: hda: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=998109, sector=259119
Apr  8 02:35:15 firewall kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 03:03 (hda), sector 259119

Apr  8 02:55:40 firewall kernel: hda: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=998109, sector=259119
Apr  8 02:55:40 firewall kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 03:03 (hda), sector 259119

These errors have occurred two nights in a row around the same time.  Give or take a minute or two.  They occur at the same LBAsect 998109 and sector 259119.

Thanks for the help.
