You can try to repartition the drive and refomat it. If this works fine, if not you can try to get a low level fromatting util from quantum.

Here's something I found on the net about a year ago. It uses raw machine code to write directly to the disk. It works perfectly (I've used it to get EZ-drive off at least two disks) but I recommend removing any other hard disks from your PC first:

lowlevelINSTRUCTIONS ON USING THE DOS COMMAND DEBUG TO LOW-LEVEL FORMAT ANY
AT(IDE) AND SCSI HDD.

USES THE DEBUG COMMAND AND REWRITES THE MBR, DAT, AND FAT AREAS AS ZERO. REMOVES
ALL INFORMATION AND TAKES THE DRIVE BACK TO THE MOST ORIGINAL NATIVE STATE AS
CAN BE ACHIEVED IN THE FIELD.

CREATE A CLEAN BOOT DISK WITH FDISK, FORMAT, AND DEBUG ON THE DISK. BOOT TO THE
DISK, RUN FDISK, AND REMOVE THE PARTITION. REBOOT FROM THE FLOPPY. TYPE:

DEBUG (ENTER)
;ONCE YOU SEE THE DEBUG DASH PROMPT (-) TYPE IN THE FOLLOWING:

A (ENTER)
;DEBUG WILL NOW OUTPUT A SERIES OF LETTERS AND NUMBERS. NOW ENTER:
MOV AX,330 (ENTER)
MOV CX,1 (ENTER)
MOV DX,80 (ENTER)
MOV BX,3800 (ENTER)
MOV ES,BX (ENTER)
INT 13 (ENTER)
INT 3 (ENTER)
(ENTER)
G (ENTER)
Q (ENTER)

YOU SHOULD NOW BE BACK AT AN A: PROMPT.

YOU WILL NEED TO REBOOT, RUN FDISK AND FORMAT.


If this doesn't work then I think your disk is a door stop.
