I think I bricked this hard drive

I was trying to install Linux Mint on this old HDD from a Windows Vista laptop via a SATA to USB cable. Everything was going well, and I was letting it do its partition thing, when suddenly it said that the partition operation had failed or something (this was last night and I didn't get a screenshot).
Now I get this error whenever I try to do anything with this hard drive in mint. Weird thing is though, when I switch to Windows 7, the hard drive shows up just fine and I can view the files in it. Now it gets weirder. See, the laptop this HDD belonged to had a failure of the integrated GPU, so I figure that the Windows Vista installation should be fine.
I never tried actually booting into the Windows Vista again, until now, AFTER I may have corrupted it by trying to make a Mint partition. Now when I try to boot from this HDD, it gets part of the way through starting Vista, and then a bluescreen flashes for a split second, before essentially restarting the computer. The same thing happens if I go into safe mode. I really wish I'd tried to boot into Vista beforehand.
Is this hard drive just fucked? I really wanted to install Linux, but this hard drive was really the only option I had
