DDS and working is paradox. There is no working DDS. (Working in the
sense of "You can read back what you have written onto it.")
Don't waste your time with a DDS drive. Trash ist and you are done.

Goo removal: Try with acetone or benzine. (petroleum aether? Don't know
the english word.) Be carefull with acetone. It will dissolve many
plastics.
I believe benzene is a known carcinogen. I used to use something called
"Painter's Friend" to slightly soften the existing oil based enamel
before applying a new coat on interior trim. It contained benzene, and
I don't believe it is still available as a result. I was sorry to see
it go in a way as it worked really well. Of course I'd rather not get
cancer either...
