Try using a Disk Eraser available from the manufacturers of the drives, the
eraser will write either all 0's or all 1's over all the existing data
including the partition tables - will also remove/repair bad sectors (if
they are not caused by physical damage) - should bring them up like new !

Let me know how you get on.
