Have a Maxtor 8.4 GB HDD running on a Win 98SE eMachine 300Mhz system. Picked up something on Web and am unable to access HDD after several attempts. Finally tried to "fdisk" which worled well, but cannot "format c: /s"...all I get is "Track 0 Bad..." Is my HDD totally trashed? what else can I do to try and get my HDD useable again?

Go to the Maxtor site to see if there are utilities to check hard drives. I just finished checking an IBM with a program called DFT. Surely Maxtor has such utilities. My drive was still under warranty and I sent it back to IBM today.

If the test says that your hard drive is bad, since your hard drive looks like its in warranty, you can file a RMA to the company and they'll give you a fresh new one for free.
