Looks like my Laptop hard disk is failing. Funnily enough, I first noticed the problem when my backup failed. So, in trying to fix the backup volume I deleted my old backups, now that I my disk is falling apart and I have no backup. Arrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhh!

Frantically copying documents and, more importantly, mp3s to an external.

Damn, The Clash got corrupted.

Copying stuff to an external drive in the Finder sucks! As every corrupt file causes the whole copy process to fail. Having more luck using mv in the terminal, as it will continue to copy despite finding corrupt files.

Erased disk and re-installed OS X, hoping that has fixed the bad disk sectors. Ho-hum. This post seems to sum-up what happened to me: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080129063748614

Disk erased, OS re-installed, data migrated (manually) and it looks like I still have problems:
Dec 1 08:59:26 MacBook-Pro Skype[143]: SkypeApplication::init called
Dec 1 08:59:38 MacBook-Pro kernel[0]: disk0s2: 0xe0030005 (UNDEFINED).
Dec 1 08:59:38 MacBook-Pro kernel[0]:
Is this the end of the road for my disk?

Amazing how useless Disk Utility is! Throughout this whole thing it has consistently argued that th disk is OK.

found a solution? i think im in the same boat =( my TM dont work and ive got the i/o error codes in console.
I noticed that if I don’t turn on skype the problem goes away.
For me the hard drive was getting almost full, so I think there is an issue with Skype mounting because there is no space and then the you get the IO error.
Tell me if that works.

Copy as much data off from the faulty drive to an external and then go buy a new drive as a replacement.
