Reply: (edit)why would you install a OS when format doesn't finish? Format not finishing indicates a serious problem usually with the drive. Download the WD drive utilites and test/wipe the drive with them. Might be rma time.

Reply: (edit)Did you do a complete F-Disk or just a reformat ... if there is some kind of protection set up by a security software and it won't let a reformat take place and you can't get 100% formated then I would say your system didn't reformat and therefore anything that was causing you grief before ( your old install of windows ) is still there .

Reply: (edit)thanks for replys.
Sometimes I can do 100% format. But not all the time. That is the problem.
