Another bootcamp partition resize problem

Running Win 7 Ultimate 64-Bit and OS X 10.6.5. Winclone version is 2.2. I attempted to enlarge my Bootcamp Windows partition (deleted, resized to full, and then resized again with Bootcamp Assistant). I've made several attempts without any success. I have two Winclone images (11/2010 & 1/2011). The latest image doesn't even get started good before I get an error about 2 bad sectors and the one from last year runs all the way through and gives an error at the end. I ran disk repair on the complete partition before rezizing back to bootcamp and it still didn't work. I managed to get a win 7 repair disk to run one time and ran chkdsk on the bootcamp partition that returned no errors. I thought I might be able to install Win 7 fresh and then do a restore from a Windows system image that I have, but I can't get my Windows 7 disk to work when using the Bootcamp Assistant (I get a boot screen with two options (1. & 2. with nothing else visible) at the install point of the process and can't go past there). The last thing I did was resize the partions back to the way they were before this all started (50/50) and restore the 1/2010 image. I'll post the log below. Thanks for any suggestions!

Relieved to be back where I started

I meant that I restored the 1/2011 (not 1/2010) winclone image to the 50/50 partition and the log I posted was from that attempt (failed). I went back after I wrote that post, got the win7 repair disk to run and it saw the windows system image on one of my backup drives (didn't see it during previous attempt). Did a restore from there and now I'm finally back up and running, and like you said-back to where I started. I really needed it to be up for work tomorrow, so it's a relief-although I didn't need the stress of going in the big circle...

It does appear something is going on with the HD, and I concur with your suggestion and plan to place an order for another HD. I'm not sure if I want to go back with the ST9500420AS since it's been in there less than a year.
I'll zip up the log and get it out over the weekend (I'm fried from fooling with this thing over the past few days!). I still want to make sure I'm doing everything right so I hopefully won't have to go through this again. Thanks.
