Big Problem with reformat

Guest

Well I just build my computer at the beginning of this month and just this
past week I had a problem. My mouse some how stopped working. There wasn't
any way to fix it unless I reformatted. The mouse problem was kind of
complicated so don't worry about that... the big problem is that I can't
reformat. I’ve tried a few rimes:

First: I did a full format went to sleep when it was at 3% done. Woke up
about 8 hours later it was at 30%. I just turned it off.

Second: I did a quick format and that ran though all right until it got to
"Installing Windows". It said it had about 35 min. left. I went to work at
that time and then I got home 3 hours later and it was in the same spot.

Third: I tried another hard drive, same thing happened

Fourth: same as all the others.

What’s up? I know someone who's been working with computer a long time and
he's kind of concluded that it’s memory, CPU, or mobo. I'm thinking it's the
mobo but I really have no idea.

What size drive? Did you remove and recreate the partitions?
It could be the IDE controller on the mobo, check the bios to make sure it
is seeing the correct hd parameters.
