Ok, sorry about the double post or something, but I've realized that 
when I write the partition table with fdisk I get this error message:
hda:<5>11_rw_block: device 03:00: only 512-char blocks implemented (1024)
unable to read partition table
hda:<5>11_rw_block: device 03:00: only 512-char blocks implemented (1024)
unable to read partition table

This could mean two things:
1) A dead HDD
2) An fdisk problem

I'm placing my bets on 1, because this never happened before. (Now it 
happens a lot)
