Feb 28, 2013 3:35 PM in response to gdavidgby Jan Hedlund,It cannot be ruled out that the hard disk surface is damaged. During formatting, one can sometimes notice how the process slows down; this can be a sign of a troubled area on the disk. The formatter may be able to map out a certain number of bad areas, but it can also lead to a failed initialisation.
If possible, try to reformat the hard disk.
