Any advice for my hard drive with I/O errors? Any way I can use it again?

Replace it. If it is coming up with errors now, that means it is soon to be dead. Back up the data, replace it, be happy.

Damn, well, I already have a replacement, but nowhere near as big (300 GB instead of 1.5TB) So it will stay permanently unplugged in my PC until I find somewhere to put all that data.

did you try running a dskchk? won't stop you from getting a new drive, as it would still be bad, but it could stop the errors, and give you the opportunity to get the data off easily.
