I'm trying to format a friend's hard drive, I put in the usual format c: \s. it get's to about 80% then says it has to repair some clusters. After awhile, it just aborts the format. I tried it a few times and it gives me the same thing. So, instead, I ran the EZ disk program from Western Digital to format it, and that works out fine. Right now I'm loading Windows without a hitch. What gives here? Is it ok to use the EZ disk program, or is this an indicator that the hard drive is going bad? By the way it's a WD Caviar 4 gig drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
VD
