Can some please explain LBA error with Seagate Seatools

Can someone please explain what an LBA error means using Seagate Seatools...
DST faied read element LBA= 6302198.
I ran chkdsk from the XP CD and  it appears to have repaired the problem (for now)
Prior to the repiar I was getting a BSD at the windows xp boot screen.
Is it likely to re occur?

LBA is Logic Block Adress
you can try running HDD regenerator on the drive, or spinrite; both will ensure the operational readyness :
