   That's what's known as an I/O error (input/ouput error). I'd
recommend low-level formatting the drive to get rid of bad sectors.
If you get this error during or just after a low-level formatting,
then either the drive is too far dead, or there are other problems
elsewhere in the scsi chain that are causing this. Since you mentioned
reinitializing it, I assume you know that the data on the drive will
be lost; hope you kept a good backup.

   A full list of error codes (and maybe not the best descriptions)
is online at http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/gserrors.html
