ok, i have vista installed on my 3rd hard drive, brand new only a few days old, and i'm loading vista, and all of the sudden my grandmother desides to start flicking power circuts down stairs, so the power goes out, i start it up again, and it won't boot to vista, so i boot to XP and it starts fine except i can't see my 3rd drive

i don't care about the data on it, so i tryed to reformat, but i can't get to it from my computer, i tryed to use maxblast4, which came with the HDD. it says thats theres no partition, i think ok, make one and format, but when i try to do that using maxblaster, i hangs and does nothing (trust me, i left it overnight) so when i go to the disk management in computer managment, it says that the drive is not inisalized, so i try to do that, and nothing happens, at all

i'm out of ideas, what do i do?
