Hmm. Well, repartitioning, if successful, would effectively wipe the  
drive. So use Data Rescue to try and get stuff off the drive. Since  
it's under warranty, at this point I'd just get the drive replaced.  
That failing is just screwy enough to not make it worthwhile to try  
anything else, in order to compel the thing to work. I just wouldn't  
really trust it.
