can't FORMAT an external Hard Drive in my PC

winterSn0w · 02 Jul 2015

is there something wrong with the uploading system? I mean, I cant upload any photos of any file extensions. I already waited for about 3-4 hours just for the first 2 screenshots i uploaded, but I'm not sure if what is going on. The window that popped up in where you browsed your desired photos to post and clicked the upload button, just turned white after it said the upload was complete, and then the link is this (https://www.sevenforums.com/newattach...anageattach&p=), i pressed enter and this was the result:

Invalid Post specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

If you were trying to add an attachment from Internet Explorer, please use the advanced edit mode as there is currently a bug when attaching from quick reply.

I apologize I cant upload the screenshots T.T

I reported this so try again later, or upload your pictures to a file server like OneDrive and post back the link.

Cyclic redundancy is a read calculation error, but since there is no data and it identifies the problem with the MBR then we try wiping the MBR which resolves many issues. At the same time the disk should be surface tested and have its file system tested. Partition Wizard can automate these so you don't need to use the commands I gave earlier.

Need to see the Partition Wizard shots to compare. Please try to attach them correctly as given in Disk Management - Post a Screen Capture Image

Then Partition Wizard Wipe Disk - Video Help.

Also run a Partition surface test with Partition Wizard.

Then try to create a Logical partition using Partition Wizard. How to Create Partition | Windows Partition Wizard Tutorial and then Partition Wizard Check File System

Thanks Brink! Anyways, I already posted through OneDrive it was way easier. I might try to use the attachments in this forum later.
