so this [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148413&cm_re=2tb_seagate_barracuda-_-22-148-413-_-Product]harddrive[/url] formats perfectly until it gets to 54%, once it gets there it just stops but I don't get any errors. I've tried formatting it 3 times and it keeps freezing there. Is there any way to fix this or will I have to exchange it for a new one at newegg?
Have you tried it on another machine? 2 TB is pretty big and not all SATA controllers / drivers / OS configurations support huge drives like that. You could try dividing the drive into two or three partitions and see if you can format smaller partitions instead of one big one.
I got the idea to divide into 2 partitions last night. I'll try it today and hopefull. It'll work
I split into 2 partitions of equal size. The first half formatted perfectly but the second half stops at 9%
