I bought a new Seagate Barracuda 500 GB from Newegg.
I activated it in Computer Management, which it did promptly.
However, I needed to format the hard drive before I can use it. For some reason, I cannot format it.
I have tried quick format, normal formating. It just tells me:
Windows was unable to complete the format.
I have checked my connections.
I have 2 other hard drives. A WD 1TB, and a Samsung 1TB. They both work fine.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit
Thanks alot.
