At least it wasn't a medium rare error.

Even if you managed to "resurrect" the drive, why risk putting your data on it? Hard drives, even SCSI drives that size, are cheap.

Even if you insist on a 10krpm SCSI drive, hypermicro.com has new 18GB Atlas 10K drives for $75. If you're willing to step down to 7200rpm, you they have several that are under $60.

Thanks. I have a 9GB 10k SCSI I will be using.

As for why I am using scsi..its all i have....everything else is in use

Oh, I wasn't criticising your use of SCSI. I use a mixture of SCSI and IDE in one of the machines in my office (hey, when you have an onboard SCSI interface, might as well use it, right? ).
