Could be a corrupted disk directory. Maybe try Disk Warrior?
I keep an external firewire drive to back up my internal drives.
I've got it partitioned to mimic the internal drives. For both
internal and external drives, I rely on Intertech's hi-cap kext.
That means whenever I need to run Disk Warrior, it's best if I do it
from the FW drive (rather than the disk) so that I can see all my
partitions.
