Go To the manufacturer's website and check in the support section for a
downloadable testing program, most have one there that you make a boot floppy
with then boot from it to test.

Well, since my box does not have a floppy drive, I tried to format,
first ext3, then ntfs, but both attemps failed. So I guess the drive is
dead. I could any create a partition on the first third of the drive.
Anyway, I ordered a new one.
Thanks to both of you for your reply.
