Can somebody tell me how to format this fucking drive? I've been searching everywhere, but nothing helps.
>Windows crashes when attempting to access it or open it in the drive manager
>Ubuntu can't format it
>DBAN can't format it
I wanted to use it as a backup, but I found another one to use. Is there anything that can be done with this, or is it bricked?

dd
IT'S CLEARLY FUCKED
That thing probably had what? 500mb of storage space when it still worked?

Linux can format it.
If it can't, it's bricked, but you can find out the details with ddrescue or dd.

Probably between 2 and 5 GB
A 64GB SD card costs $15

In 1997 a 64gb sd card would have cost thousands and been considered a new invention.

A fucking SD card can hold 10 times as much as the shitty HDD OP wants for his backup
Also they work, unlike OPs HDD
