When this happens it is usually a good idea to make sure that everything on the
HD is backed up, reformat it, and restore all the data. Could be that you have
a sector acting up.

If you just have one file which you can't read (due to a bad sector, etc) it is
easy to lock out the entire file (including the bad sector) by using DED to set
the first character in the filename in the directory to '0'. That way the file
disappears, but the storage remains allocated...at least that way nothing else
can use it.
