I'm taking this thread in the middle so, please, bear with me if this was already
suggested: did you run any hardware diags on your disk? Another problem
I had at some point was a bugged partition table (edited it with Linux, FBSD,
Win$ and BeOS - my advice on this: don't do it, just stick to one, always the
same and the BSD one is a reliable one). I had to fully flush the disk to make
it usable again. Remnants (ghosts) of partition are a nightmare.

My cent worth
