Question New HDD - Can I run a quick format after my full format failed at 100%?

[Yrkano]

Hello!

I recently installed a new 2TB internal HDD in my PC because my old one was failing. (Here's the new drive I bought, in case that helps: https://a.co/d/7CZY9IE)

This one came not formatted, and I've read that running just a quick format on a new drive can lead to corruption in the future, so I did the usual process in DISKPART of running the "clean"and "create partition primary" commands, and then I ran a full format to ntfs.

The formatting took a long time (about 32 hours), and then it gave me an "incorrect parameter" error after it reached 100% progress.
Now my drive has a raw partition that takes all space on the drive.

My question: can I run a quick format safely now? It seems to me like if it got to 100%, it already checked the whole drive, filling it with zeros, before it failed. And here's what my drive's statistics and attributes are when I view them in gSmartControl:

Am I good to run "format fs=ntfs quick" now? Thank you so much for taking the time to read my question!

Oh, I'm sorry about that. I can't believe I forgot to allow anyone to view it. You should be able to now

I can't see anything that would explain the "incorrect parameter" error.

Thank you, that's good to hear. Do you know if I can safely just run a quick format and get started now? If it got to 100%, does that mean that all the zero-filling and sector checking was done, but it failed to complete the last step of setting up the partition as ntfs? I'm just guessing here, so confirmation would be nice.

I wouldn't feel comfortable until I could understand the source of that error.
