OT-Maxtor hard drive?

A friend gave me two farely new 250G Maxtor internal hard drives and said he thought they we re-usable. I was able to put one in my computer and reformat it with no problem. The drive worked good.
I removed it and tryed to get the 2nd one going. Although I could get the maxtor software to see it and partition/format it. Windows XP said the drive needs to be formatted every time I try to read or write a file to it. I tried to format it from windows and also from DOS. it just hangs up.
Question: Is this 2nd drive a paperweight? or is there something else I can do to give it life?
Thanks Jim
