It sounds like you may have a bad hard drive.
Download your hard drive manufacturers diagnostic utility and check it out.

Well the bad thing is that GoBack changes your file system, so your drives manufacturers utilities may not work. You also won't be able to slave it up, and transfer information. That's one of the main reasons why goback sucks.
If you can't manage to get into the goback settings correctly, and you're sure there's no other hardware issue, you'll have to erase and reformat the drive. If anyone else has a recovery method, I'd love to hear it.

Yeah, it was made by wildfile back then. Nice idea, if they'd just leave you with any chance to recover your data outside of that system.
