Again, I would test the drive with badblocks before putting it back in service. At the very least, it will rewrite sector 0, wiping out your MBR. Did you even try zeroing it?

If you require a single filesystem shareable by Windows, Linux, and OpenBSD, you are limited to FAT. If Windows is not involved, EXT2 is another choice.
