Duh.. actually, we were just discussing this very error in another

One thing to try, to verify that my interpretation was correct,
is to try and read that exact sector. It should fail, I think.
The hex values are in low:middle:high order,
so that translates to 0xf9240a, or decimal 16327690.
So you could try this, with the latest hdparm (from sourceforge.net):
hdparm --read-sector 16327689
hdparm --read-sector 16327690
hdparm --read-sector 16327691
At least one of those ought to fail, if we've done this correctly.
Cheers
