yeah because macs don't suffer from hardware failure either 
disk read error is just that - the computer cannot read from the hard disk. take it as a sign of impending failure. Even if you do a chkdsk and it comes back with bad sectors, that's bad. there's no reason for your computer to be spitting out errors like that.
it's not worth losing everything you have on your computer. You can get an 80gb drive for less than $60.
