and my hdd is now dead :(
No known utility won't work... it shows my drive in bios and utilites,
mark & s/n are all ok, but i can't make any patritions and if i scan for errors
then all sectors are BAD :(

A real silly question, forgive me if it's too obvious. Was this your boot drive?

If not, can you try again filling with zeros?

it can't fill with zeros anymore... only what this drive does
is low level format with samsung utility... and in the end it gives a
error... if i run seatools or any utility for check errors, then all sectors are BAD...

Like the heads are damaged... or i don't no what anymore :(

Try Active Killdisk again Cos it Might Be Password Protecting the HDD Before Doing Zerofilling ,

A cheaper alternative to A-FF Repair Station would be HDD Unlock Wizard: http://hddunlock.com
