Post subject:  Any hope for a moron?

I recently was given a used Crucial M4 256 SSD in perfect working order. I plopped it into a external enclosure and starting copying my files onto the new drive. Where I really messed up is for whatever stupid reason as I was leaving for work I thought to myself "I should take my external drive" and unplugged the drive while it was being copied....

UGH

After that mistake my drive wasn't appearing in BIOS anymore. I was able to get it to show up again by power cycling following this guide:

I then updated the firmware on the drive because apparently that's why it took a crap so easily in the first place.

My problem now is that I can't make any partitions or use anything on the drive, windows and gparted give me IO errors when I try to initialize. It's well out of warranty so crucial wont take it back. The data on the drive is unimportant and I don't care if it's lost.

Any advice or is the drive trash?

THANKS!
