Default dd backup fails

a dd backup is failing due to read write error. is there anything I can do to diagnose?

it should copy 3gb

Code:
sh-3.1# dd if=/dev/hda1 | gzip -c | split -b 2000m - /mnt/share/Data.dd.
dd: reading `/dev/hda1': Input/output error
1837792+0 records in
1837792+0 records out
940949504 bytes (941 MB) copied, 576.656 seconds, 1.6 MB/s
sh-3.1# dd if=/dev/hda | gzip -c | split -b 2000m - /mnt/share/Data.dd.
