It doesn't matter how many times u format, generally PATA HDDS doesn't last long. 4yrs is very long in ur case. Again, if u unplug n plug d HDD frequently then its pins gets bent (Already lost 2 HDDs like this). Again, if ur HDD has developed any physical bad sector, then its hard to recover and d bad sector will increase day by day.
