Yes....the ED bugcheck pointed to a very serious problem. There is a very strong posssibility that the drive is dying or already dead.
However, don't rush into anything yet - please try this:
1. Leave the long test to run for another hour (make a note of the progress and errors encountered)
2. If you have any data on that disk that you need, we can try rescue it, but the chances are extremely slim.
Lets get step 1 out the way first, and then we will try step 2.
I'll be here the whole day, so just post back and I'll get notified of the thread.
