i have a problem with a NEW wd hdd, the model is WD2003FZEX (is a 2 TB dard disk)
i want to format is and use as an externat drive for backup but i can t format is: i tried the next methodes :
quick format from disk management : the erros was : windows cannot complete the fromat
normal format from disk management : the same error
format from cmd : the erros was : the second ntfs boot sector is unwriteable
i installed an image of windows 7, the deleted the c parition and i tried to use the hdd. i copied hundreds of gb on the hdd and after a week i couldn t acces the information
i ran the data lifeguard diagnostics and the hdd is ok
i receive the answer from wd support ; this is their answer : If you purchased the drive recently I strongly suggest you to contact the place of purchase for a replacement because the drive is faulty if it is not possible to format in any way.
