If you're drive is SCSI, you might have to do a
low level format, which would be available to you when
you get the SCSI banner during boot process. Press
Control and the letter 'A' together, that will take you
to your SCSI cards utilities, one of which would be a low level
format.
Hope I've been of some help. I know the frustration
you might be going through. Good luck.
