Today is Sant Jordi (St George's Day) the Patron Saint of Catalunya. You buy roses for women and books for men (or just any of the two for either).

Called Apple (fortunately, very quick reply). The harddisk is dead. I'm not the only one -- the customer rep confessed that they're having many similar problems with Macbooks that were manufactured around the same time. Apple bought a large amount of harddrives from either Samsung or Siemens (he didn't know), and that company found out they had made a
