If it were SCSI I'd say plug it in to the nearest adaptec controller and low level it (I fixed a drive one of my SGI's ate like this), but it's IDE. You might want to give NT or OS/2 a whack at it if you've got them laying around. There are programs to let you low level IDE drives out there, I believe they're mostly DOS based though, so that probably doesn't help.
