Everything here points to the drive being bad. If you are still under warranty I would back up what is still good on there do a basic wipe, then set up a RMA with the manufacturer.
Hi :)
ok this getting silly this is screen shots of my other drive (1TB)
have both gone south ? (bad).
any other idea on how to check before i RMA the 500gb ? (1TB) out of warritiy
thanks

Actually may want to hold on that rma.
I have to admit I've never seen this before. The odds that both drives have decided to go bad at the same time are really low though.
Is it possible that you have a friend's computer or another yourself you could plug one of these drives into and run the same test on?
I'm beginning to think my initial impression of a bad motherboard controller may have been correct.
ive still got my old pc these drives came out of i hook it up and post back !
thanks

Is this store bought or self built, next you said os only week old, did you upgrade or clean install, the motherboard is still possibility but i'm leaning first to bad install of os, just a thought.
Hi
i built it and hard drive was formatted as followed by an page from this site before an clean install on windows 7 64bit was installed.
thanks
