Hard drive Corrupt

[UltraVioletDream]

I have a problem, got this hard drive from someone on AAT, finally when all my stuff for my new comp gets here, I try to install windows on it, and it says that it's corrupt, then I try and format it in the windows thingy, and it won't let me change it from Fat32 to NTFS, it just gives me an error like at 90% that says it's corrupted and can't format the drive, what should I do?

Sounds like it's dead.

Go to your drive manfgs. page and get their testing tools to check the drive.

Run the manufacturer's HDD diagnostic utility (also found on the Ultimate Bootdisk, google it). It should allow you to low-level format the HDD.
