The message means pretty much what it says: "UncorrectableError" is a hard sector failure on the media.
Assumed as much, but wondered about the "DriveReady SeekComplete Error" part.
Quote: This can often be corrected by overwriting the entire disk with, say, zeros: cat /dev/zero >/dev/hda
As part of the overwrite, the drive firmware will fix the errors and try to remap the bad sectors automatically.
Hmm. After having had thousands of bad sectors I think I won't use the disk as anything but paperweight.

But first, it would be good to have a look at the S.M.A.R.T. logs, and run a low-level drive test. The S.M.A.R.T. data may tell WHY the sectors went bad, but most likely it won't.
The interesting thing would be drive temperature - will try checking it at some point.
Anyway, thanks and cheers!
