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
