Yeah, I had exhausted everything I could think of and was getting irritated. I tried several things, but nothing seemed to work, so I wiped it. I definitely had stuff I wish I didn't lose (4GB of photos, etc) but I think I have backups of almost all of it on other computers.

The thing that worried me was even after the format, it still appeared to be having errors, but it looks like turning off the hard drive and turning it back on fixed it. Have you heard of anything like this before?
