Re: ~HELP Formatting~
 

MAYBE ur hard disk is broken so it cannot continue formatting.

dead hard disk.
maybe if u make a 2.8gb partition, the format will continue, but u wont be able to make use of the rest of the HD capacity.

divide your hard disk into 5 partitions , then try to format all of them .

you'll find the corrupted partition .

then merge the other safe partitions .

Try the normal format nt the quick! if u still hav the same problem then try what John A told u 2 do.. if the prb persist check if ur hard disk is limited or MASTER only. if its limited then ull hav to get a new1 ! if its MASTER then try to use it as limited..
