Hey all, hope you can help me with this one.

I installed Vista, didn't like so I deleted the partition with partition magic.
The boot loader wouldn't go away, so i used fdisk /mbr.
Windows loaded once, but froze, so I manually shut it down and restarted.
Chkdisk appeared and wanted to correct the disk. (The computer is my friends, so it's in swedish.)
But it took a very long time, so i fugured it was formatting. I didnt disrupt it.
Then I used NTFS for Dos, to try and see the disk. It worked once, so I bought a new drive to copy it to.
When I loaded NTFS for Dos the 2nd time, it didn't work.
Since then, nothing has worked. Not a single piece of software has worked to try and repair the disk, mbr, partition table, fix the bad sector, low level format,. Partition magic says it cant read the MBR. Partition table doctor doesnt seem to actually write a new MBR when I command it to. I know its just a cheap piece of hardware, but I don't want to waste it.

It can't be a physical problem, could it?
