It's very hard to say--suffice it to say that the HDD firmware has found
something it doesn't like--could be a bad servo track or any number of
other things.
If the data's that important, I'd ship the drive (after calling to check)
to someone like Drivesavers; I've had excellent results from them in the
past.
