I think I screwed up.

I have a harddrive from my mothers laptop that the screen went on, and I wanted to use it as a external. So I got the case, and all the files that were on her laptop were recognized and I put the files she needed on her new laptop. Now I wanted to delete them all, so I deleted as many as I could normally, and then went to format it. Everytime I tried "Quick Format" with windows, it failed. When I unchecked it, it got to about 85%, then failed. Kept saying "Windows Could Not Format the drive." I then went into "Drive Manager" and right clicked the drive, and clicked "Delete Volume" and it gave me the warning message on how it would erase all the data and what not, and I clicked OK, and it dissappered instantly from the list, and now doesn't show up on my computer or the disk manager when I plug it into my desktop or laptop. BUT is does show up under device manager. What do I do? :(
 
Go back into disk management and make sure it doesn't show up as unallocated space with no drive letter. If it still don't show up, then you will have to download and run killdisk on it and then you should be able to see it in disk management.
