I don't think it's a virus more likely a mechanical failure (hopefully) on part of the drive.
If it's mechanical surely you are fucked?
Have you done that trick where you connect one mac to another (With firewire I think) than hold apple+T [citation very much needed] on the fucked machine and it launches in target mode or something.
Then it should appear as a hard drive on your good mac.
That or pop it into an external casing (but I guess you tried that).
Sometime the partition tables on a drive can get fucked - so maybe they need repairing.
I guess you've tried all this basic stuff - but it's all I know and I thought I would offer it in the off chance.
