Sounds to me like it was physical damage... not the type that can be done by a virus. Keep in mind that your hard drive has a bunch of moving parts all crammed into that small area. These parts do fail after awhile.
A little while ago there was a class action lawsuit again IBM because their 75gb deskstar drives were failing way too much. That was a case of not being manufactured correctly.
So, it sounds like you had a bad drive that just died.
