Formatting utilites...


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.
