[SOLVED] Input/Output error, read and writing ..

This is my brand new Seagate 500GB disk making troubles, it is formatted with NTFS for easier accessing trough Windows because it is sometimes plugged into an external case.

[dezza@dezza ~]$ sudo rm -rf store/BADDIR/
rm: cannot remove `store/BADDIR/tonsi-tonsi.r09': Input/output error

I don't hope this means it's broken Cause I filled it to the limit with valuable stuff ..

I tried remounting and rebooting ..

Well, it's happened on this new disk a bought a few weeks ago, can I check it to be certain that it is a bad disk somehow?

Disk-checked it on my mothers Windows XP laptop and deleted the folder perfectly fine, problem solved.
