Ok, I reformatted, and it didnt fix it. It also reformatted the drive, all screwy again. Hung at 0percent for 5 minutes, then went fine till 49percent, and hung on each percet after for about 3 minutes a piece up until around 58. Then it went fine to 100percent.
I reformatted my old drive, and it hung at 0 too, but not for as long. It hung around 60 percent, but not for too long, then went fine to 100.
So, pretty sure its the hard drive.
Are there any programs that can test my hard drive for flaws, that doesnt use a floppy disk? I dont have a working floppy drive.
The problem is I dont have a receipt since I saw the info entered into their computer, I thought I wouldnt need it. If it is the hard drive, is there anyway to send it directly to the manufacturer for a new one, without a receipt or packaging? I bought it in just a static bag.
Im going to install a game on the old drive, and see if it does it on that one too.
