bash: cd: /etc/init.d: Input/output error

[Shannon Scott]

I tried to restart my apache web server this morning, but the system
reported:
httpd: unrecognized service
It restarted well yesterday.
 
Everything on the server is running well.  The only directory I can find
with any problems is /etc/init.d.
The directory won't list and I can't move into it.  When I try, I get:
bash: cd: /etc/init.d: Input/output error
but the rest of the disc seems fine, and it is not very old.  
 
Can the system be recovered?
Could it be anything other than a bad drive?
Any advice or suggestions are welcomed.  Please keep any unkind comments
to yourself.
 
Fedora Core 1 
 
Thank You.
Shannon
