hardware failure - cannot format bad hard disk

I think I have a problem with my hard drive.


I tried to boot the system, and it was taking a long time. After a while it said that the drive was not bootable.


I tried running check disk, but it was unable to complete.


I then tried to remove it from the laptop to see if I can recover the files, but the drive does not appear to be formatted. When I tried to format the drive, I received a message that said that the formatting was not successful.


A S.M.A.R.T test returned a read failure.


The annoying thing is that when I try to format just a part of the drive, it works fine.


EDIT : Here is the log file output:



184 End-to-End_Error 0x0032 001 001 001 Old_age Always FAILING_NOW 1927



What does this mean?


EDIT 2: The machine that I have the drive plugged into is running windows 7 sp1, the driver is connected via usb (sata to usb) and the model of the hard driver is MK1652GSX and the model of laptop is Presario CQ60.

hard drive - Leaving bad sectors in unformatted partition?
