Well, I was able to eventually recover the drive so that it responds without any errors and functions correctly. Though, writing seems to be pretty much out of service. Whenever i try writing anymore (haven't rebooted yet since the last errors) all it does is make a strange noise like the lens motor is trying to seek beyond it's limits and then I get the same series of errors that i originally got.
If it helps any, I had to run a sg_sync on the drive to eventually get it back into a workable state. Maybe it's having some sort of buffer problem that's not being internally flushed or cleared ?
