It takes some serious programming skills to kill a hard drive with software (can't be done).
Diogenes: The unrecoverable errors are likely due to damaged sectors occuring where critical OS data lives. Plain bad luck. Mount the old drive on another computer and try to copy as much personal files as possible. Then reformat to mark the bad sectors and perhaps the drive is still usable, though having failed once you might be better off with a new one anyway. Good luck!
