There are so many variables here that the *only* way to find the root cause is the process of eliminations. Guessing that OpenBSD did it will only get you more mad. If this were *my* computer I'd grab a couple blank CDs, go somewhere where you can download, and download and burn System Rescue CD. You can boot that and examine your computer, including the disk. Start ruling out sections of the root cause scope, and pretty soon you'll know the exact root cause. By the way, I think System Rescue CD has SMART programs, so you can see whether your hard disk is damaged, or just has lost its file system or GPT or MBR.
