Sick Hard Drive Controller?

[A Mayer]

HELP!! PLEASE.

A couple of months ago the 20M drive on my ATT 7300 stopped
working.  I just installed a Seagate ST-251-1 last night.
I ran the format from the diagnostic disk and all went well.
Then the Bad Block check ran, Pass 1 found about 8 or 9 bad blocks.
Pass 2 found about 5 more bad blocks then crapped out.  Now I cant
even reformat the drive.  This was a brand new drive, could the
problem be that the controller has gone bad?
Following are the various error messages I received.

Hard drive restore failed           <<-----This happened on retry
        ** ERROR **
Test:    Hard disk test (drive 0)
Subtest: Surface Test

        ** ERROR **

I would be grateful for any help!
