The errors in those posts are indeed the same as mine, but I don't think my problem is a disk too big for the bios, because I've had 8.2 running on it all year.
I think their errors were 'can't see sector, disk shouldn't be that big', and mine is 'can't see sector, disk is corrupt'.
I hope I'm wrong, so I'll try the diagnosis utility Tom mentions.

you used different partition tools on the drive.Maybe it doesn't like
