Does this mean that my hard drive is fried and that I can just throw it out, or can I still save it?

I got a 40GB seagate HDD which has got through some unsuccessful windows and linux installations and now all the partition tables are corrupted... I tried to format with System>Administration>DiskUtility but it gives this error when I'm do: Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: Error calling fsync(2) on /dev/sdb: Input/output error gParted was not even useful since it didn't not even detected the drive... Isn't there any simple way to format the crap from the Ubuntu 10.04 Live CD??? I believe that on windows, there wouldn't be that problem since the "format c:" crap just format the drive without asking questions... All I want to do is to format the drive so I can create partitions later. Also, I have only access to the live CD and I don't have any Diskette drive installed... I believe we now live in a world where

The drive was https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1209139?tstart=0 attached to a Windows machine and works perfectly.

I tried to format two partitions, one FAT32 and one HFS+ for Time Machine. XP can still format the output error during drive but Leopard gives me a "Partition failed Inout/Output Error".Maybe somebody can help us?

And that WD is looking and working on what to do to be more Mac compatible. I use to see a mix of messages about WD MyBook Pro and the Mac Pro and some having issues with these devices a year ago when the Mac Pro came out. Now, seems there is a Leopard related issue. Past OS X releases often required firmware updates to LaCie and Oxford 911-based cases. We all remember the 10.3.0 fiasco with FW devices. But 10.4 also unless it was relatively new case. If you can use another interface (some have 3-4 interfaces, FW800 and eSATA as well as USB/FW400) try that.
