Yes, and it too failed. 

  I tried NTFS first, then went back to FAT32.... by this time it was hopelessly toasted.  I rebooted and tried again, no joy.
Time for new HD.. this one is old and well, its been a pain since day one.  I hopefully backed up everything I needed a year ago when I knew the drive was failing. 
Its just sad in a way, As I move to a new PC I seldom keep the stuff on the old PC.  Then when I do need it, its gone.
