Hi, First off, NEVER RUN BIOS HARD DRIVE UTILITIES ON AN IDE DRIVE!!!!! Sorry for yelling, especially since you didn't specify if this was an IDE drive, but this is that important. Using those utilities will trash an IDE drive with no hope of recovery. They were designed to work with the old MFM and RLL hard drives. Now as to how to fix your problem. I would try looking on the web page of the manufacturer. Many of them have a psuedo-low level format that has fixed problems similiar to this for me in the past.
