One thing you could try which you have not mentioned is to get another
controller OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL and attach it to the disk.  Since
you mentioned that the disk utilities which you have tried have marked
ALL sectors as bad, maybe the controller is the problem.  Bad controllers
can cause bizarre symptoms which point to the disk being bad.  The first
thing anyone should try is another controller.
