You can try attaching this HDD as a slave drive to another PC and low level format it.
Is your keyboard working? You could also try: Start button > Run > type in 'cmd', this will pull up a command prompt. Type in format/p c: and this will format your HDD. It is recommended that you have some sort of bootup disc so that after formatting you can reinstall a OS.

If the problem persists, I would advise you to run a testing software on the drive.
Hope this will help,
