If your suspicion is linux then you'll want to low level the disk by writing zeros to it. The manufacturer tools are one way to accomplish this.

In short, I tried to, but was unable to run the diagnostic programs.
Remember, the drive still works fine under Linux distros, so whatever the
problem with the disk is, it's something specific to Windows, possibly even
to Win2k. I'll try to get the diagnostics working again, and I'll call up WD
to see what I can find out. But I don't have a whole lot of hope.
