If you haven't run the scandisk yet, you should. But i'm sure you did, so the only logical solution (for me anyway) is to format the disk and reinstall the system. If you still get the error you should consider buying a new disk, but until then it's worth figuring out what the hack is wrong with the disk, so you at least know if it was a software glitch or a hardware one.
Hope that helps abit.
