ATA problems and boot problems.

I'm running F8.  Yesterday the system froze.  Now when I boot half the time
I get

"Booting Fedora 2.6.25.11-60.fc8
root (hd0,1)
Error 5" Partition table invalid or corrupt"

The other half of the time when I boot up I'm getting lots of errors.  Here
are ones I see when the system boots

Sep 11 08:41:34 localhost kernel: ata3.00: exception Emask 0x12 SAct 0x0

Sep 11 08:41:34 localhost kernel: sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled,
read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA

My question is does this appear to be a HW or SW problem?  Can anyone
interpret the ata errors and the partition table error for me.

Thanks,
