DO NOT FORMAT THE DRIVE
The drive will probably never be usable again but you might be able to recover data with some data recovery software.
I use Easeus Data Recovery Wizard but I believe the free version is limited to 1GB of data.

Unfortunately your drive is likely broken beyond repair and more than likely it can't be recovered because that would cost way more than a new drive.
