Formatting utilites...

[Geoff]

I am in desperate need of a formatting utility of some sort.

The problem is that my SATA drive gave me some errors, and now it shows that its a RAW drive and 0 Byte capacity. I've tried running CheckDisk but it says that the File Table is corrupt and it cannot proceed, i've tried Norton Partition Magic with no sucess either.

You tried low-level format util from the manufactuter?
