I/O error on hda?

[Someone suggested I post this here in addition to ipaq_at_handhelds.]

I'm running intimate on a 1Gb Microdrive with the Reiserfs. Today my
ipaq became wedged and when I connected it back to the serial cradle,
I got:

end_request: I/O error, dev 03:02 (hda), sector 320
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:02 (hda), sector 328
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:02 (hda), sector 336
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:02 (hda), sector 344
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:02 (hda), sector 352
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:01 (hda), sector 324712
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:01 (hda), sector 324712

This strikes me as really bad news. Any chance I can work around this?
(I'm going on vacation in two weeks and I need my ipaq...)

I've looked at the reiserfs programs and I don't see any way to make
them scan the disk. Is there anything I can do (in less than 10 days)
to work around this problem? Help! :-)
