A medium error is indeed a disk error but there are things you can do.
Firstly the superblock is duplicated at block 8193 and other places.
Try doing a e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/sda1
You may also want to run a scsi verify of the disk ( its often in
the controller bios, I dunno if anyone ever wrote a linux native tool
for this)
