There wasn't any indication here that the drive was formatted on a
different controller.  Furthermore, the FAT is part of the high
level format, not the low level format.  The symptoms, as reported,
are puzzling.  If the FAT is ok when it reads correctly, and you
don't get any other error messages, that discounts problems such as
bad interleave factor, improper step rate, etc.  It's a better bet
that the drive is failing.
