You probably didn't do anything wrong.
When drives start exhibiting weirdness like this, I agree with LtKojak; time to replace it.
If it goes it can take hours and hours of work with it.

Where I work has a web division (my department) and an IT division. I see this regularly; people bring in a computer where the drive died. It is very expensive to try to recover this data. It may be salvageable, maybe not, but you have to pay either way. A new drive is MUCH cheaper and will likely improve performance, have more room, etc.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
