Greetings ( + )!( + ) What you describe is exatly the same that I was having. Used Tech Tools Deluxe "Surface Scan" on my 320Gb drive (took about 12 Hrs.) and the report was "Failed - Bad Blocks" so I've laid that disk to rest RIP and have ordered a new drive.
If you have Tech Tools Deluxe run the "Surface Scan" you will be surprised what it will find.
