I would like to re-use a physically crashed disk. My guess is that its
surface has been damaged. I would like to re-install debian (or kubuntu).How is it possible to reformat the disk, without using the damaged area?
I assume you know what you are doing and all the risks involved, bla bla..., backup all your data and so on. Try doing a badblock scan.

I don't know what your situation is, but I bought a second handATA100disc the other day, in good condition, for $5.00.
