In my prior reply I was not considering that your problem
might only occur on one partition out of several on the same
drive? If this is true then I suspect the partition table
or filesystem is corrupt and advise moving the data off the
partition and trying to reformat it... even though checkdisk
found no problem.

Ultimately if everything you try does not work then it is
time to try the drive in another system and if it still has
problems, RMA to the manufacturer if still under warranty.
