Are you maybe thinking of Spinrite?  I'd used that in the past (and had 
since forgotten about it).  If I hadn't cooked the electronics on the USB 
interface for the drive I have that just croaked, I might be inclined to 
give that a try...

But apparently the USB interface is toast as well. <sigh>

I do recall using Spinrite in the past and it actually was able to 
recover things that I thought were unrecoverable.  I wonder what it would 
do with a zeroed drive.
