I've heard quick formats can make hard drives very slightly less reliable than a full format. For the sake of a few hours I'd rather not take the chance. I've only ever formatted one hard drive, roughly one year ago. So I didn't entirely know what I was doing. At the rate it's going it looks like it will finish at 3am.
That was mainly an excuse for my ineptitude. I was so excited I missed the option for a quick format. I suppose now that it's doing a full format I can't stop it and do a quick format.

Well, I am now a uncle. My sister was scheduled for a C-section at 8:30 this morning because the baby wasn't in the right position, so we all got to the hospital at about 7:00 and were waiting but they did an ultrasound and found that the baby moved last night/early this morning into the right position so she had a natural birth. The doctor predicted she'd have it at around 1:30 so at 2:00 my mom went down to her room and found out that she had already had it at 1.
It's a girl
, named Ashlynn, and she was 6lb 15oz. (3.6kg).

New hard drive = Borked
Probably.
I dunno.
It kept disappearing in Windows then eventually Windows wouldn't boot with it connected. It would show the Windows loading screen then go blank.

I asked on a computing forum (Obviously with more information than "Borked") and the general view is that it needs to go back.
I'm just a bit nervous about it being found to not be faulty because they charge for collection, testing and return +VAT if it isn't faulty. (Comes to around £30 somehow)
PS: Well done NES_Rules on becoming an uncle. It looks like I ignored that post but I didn't.

There are a few ways to determine if it's the drive that is the problem. The first thing I would try is plugging another hard drive (one that is known to be functional) into the same port that the questionable drive was on. If that functions flawlessly, then it is likely a bad hard drive. If not, then you might want to try a different data cord and a different port on the motherboard if possible. Additionally, most hard drive manufacturers have a diagnostic tool that you can download. Find that program and run the test on the bad drive. (I have assumed that this is an internal hard drive. I don't know much about external hard drive problems, except for the usual IRQ issues.)
Hope this helps.

Yeah, I tried all of that. Different sata cables, different power cables, different sockets, different hard drives in each socket, I disconnected another hard drive while trying to use the new one. I couldn't boot into Windows with the new drive connected so I ran a diagnostic tool from a boot disk which said it failed on reallocated sectors. That's probably because of bad formatting.
I couldn't format the drive with the tools on the boot disk for some reason. Eventually I couldn't even get past the POST screen while the drive was connected.
I've got an RMA number anyway.
