You're in need of a new doorstop, yes?  Because the drive, she is toast. 
The ice disk cometh.  

I think the horrible messages stem from the disk being discovered on the
bus, but then being inoperable.  If you find out differently, please tell
me, because I didn't actually toss mine out.  I just spent the afternoon
recreating it because the backup wasn't, um, ever done.  :-(
