Hddguru Low Level Format Tool Free Download

Hi,
I am using HDD Low level format to try to get my 'broken' HDD back to life.
It's a WDC-800ADFS-755LR2.
It has the following problems
Windows couldn't install on the drive (exit the install with a 'unknown error'
S.M.A.R.T. status bad in the bios.
Tried to format it in Windows 8.1 didn't work (program froze up)
Tried to format it with Hard Disk Wipe Tool didn't work (HDD was not found in the list)
I am running the low Level now but it gives me these errors 'Format error occurred at offset ****** 1117 device i/o error.
Will the format continue to work or can i stop it?
If this doesn't work what else can i try to get it back to work?
Thanks in advance for your help
