It is possible if you know how.
Are you sure that it is WD800BB-00CJA1 and not WD800BB-00CAA1 ?

So can you post SMART here? AFAIK, LLF tool can view SMART.

Seems that the drive is pretty dead.
Try erasing the whole drive with MHDD, and then scan it. Then post here the first 50 lines of the scan log (or just the summary).
