ok ive had real troubles with my 120GB hard drive after a mess up trying to lock it and now i cant write any data to it not even in windows.

ive tried slayers disk and all and it still wont unlock the HDD(i didnt print out the original HDD key )

so i tried to install red hat 8.0 to see if i can reset the thing but its says the partiition table is bad and it cannot read the HDD! is my hard drive toast or what?
