sounds more like your drive (HDD) up and died on you....there is a 'solution' to this but most likely you are best off letting warranty deal with it...the 'solution' is to take out the HDD, put it in a quality zip lock baggy and put it in the freezer...after a day put it back in your box and try to recover as much data as possible until it cr@ps out again, repeat the process until either the HDD totally croaks or you get all of the data off of it...then of course you have to replace the HDD...its dead Jim
