Formatting HDD problem

IzaLearnin · 21 Feb 2006 at 21:10

Hi all,
I am currently in the process of installing Win98se on a new HDD on an old machine. Formatting gets to 24% then nothing happens.

Any ideas?

Will give it a try in my main machine, thanks for the reply.

Ok, tried to format the HDD in the rig below and the same thing happens so I guess the drive is faulty.

It is only 20gb so I do not think size is a problem. As I said in post 4 I have tried to format using the rig in my sig running XP Home and get the same result. Will try fdisk though.
