Please Help me. if i install it on computer, i will be detected by BIOS for about 30seconds, not automatically. every time i format my drive it will be initialize but when formatting started and when reaches about 90%-95%, it will say unable to format drive. then drive lost from device manager. i already tested in other pc same problem. i even try formatting it using the WINHIIP program for Playstation2 same when it reaches 95% plus, error say unable to write to disk and lost from device manager in windows.

Thank in advance.

Maybe try MHDD scan and erase.

Read info in this forum about this.

Try erasing with mhdd - ERASE command. If still have problem, the drive has to be serviced or replace. I can repair it if possible but it's not worth, I bet.
