HDD format pbm

Hi there Sridhar Sri,

It is possible that there is something wrong with the drive. My advise would be to wait for a while until the chkdsk finishes. In case it takes really long time, I guess you will need to eventually stop it.

In case you have important data on the HDD you need to back it up as soon as possible.
After that, you can just test it with some of these: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility
