The filesystem on the drive sounds like it's hosed. The harddrive itself may possibly be fine, but not the FS. You might try just formatting the drive and starting over with it. If it continues to act up, then yeah, the drive would be bad.

Do you have S.M.A.R.T. enabled in your BIOS to check hdd failures and do hdd reporting?
