If you're having issues installing SP1 with the drive removed, may not be what you want to hear but I would just format. If your problem is Windows itself then it could be anything now.

Turn your PC off, press the button, turn back on and it will either boot with defaults or give you the option to go into CMOS and change your BIOS settings. If your problem is because your CMOS has gone a little wacky then clearing it may fix it. You have the benefit that you know for sure you've nuked the problem but most of the time it's on a system which is crying out for a format so I hit two birds with one stone.

In my experience, when you have an unknown software fault I find it's just as quick to start fresh than it is to spend ages debugging. Some can take 24 hours and thats only for one piece of hardware. You could spend the rest of the week running those. Theres many many programs that will test every aspect of system stability.


Because of the flooding in Thailand, you may just end up getting the most sensibly priced drive. Western Digital have probably the best perceived record in reliability. I'm using windows 7 Ultimate but I don't think I have updated it to SP1 yet. Originally it was a external HDD but I pulled it out of the case and pulled the sata to sub converter off and plugged it into the desktop but this should case any problems. Can I RMA it without a receipt? I have the warranty info and I think for Australia it has 3 years limited warranty. I purchased this drive about 1-2 years ago but I can't find the receipt. Trying to open it again now and the computer has completely froozen. If I partition the drive will it maybe let me format it then? Should I use Gparted to partition it? I ran SeaTools before and all the tests failed. I have tried formatting it 4 times (long format) and it failed. When I try to access the drive windows 7 says it is corrupt and can't access it. Has the hard drive damaged any other components or corrupted the SSD or 2TB drive? As the desktop has been freezing sometimes with programs even when the drive is unplugged. Also got a 2tb WD drive but that is working fine. It is connected to the z68 sata2 controller and the primary drive is a SSD. Yes it is a secondary drive not sure what a MB controller is.
