Computer shuts down in the middle of formatting a hard drive.
Accidentally clicked on the power supply was shut down when the drive during formatting.

I removed the drive and reinstall in computer.
Attempt a full format using WINDOWS is not possible, gives an error in the middle.

I turned on the test tool's ESTOOL SAMSUNG test result is good - not have errors.

Could it be that the hard drive was destroyed due to the computer shuts down?
Is it possible to rely on reliable software to identify ESTOOL hard drive problem at the truth?
This fully formatted correctly takes 9 hours + / - (2TB drive)?

Please Help.
Thank you

Hi!

What version of Windows you are using? XP/Vista/7 ??? Since some older versions can't handle big HDD's.

What error message does it give exactly?

I have never heard of a HDD getting damaged for shutting down during format. When you accidentaly shut down the computer, did you touch/hit the computer with enough strength to move the case, even a little? If yes, then it is possible the drive was damaged by the sudden movement.

windows seven can handle it .. now I recommend you to use quick format in windows since that won't take so long Full format should be only used if the HDD has bad sectors.
