Hey,

I've tried to format my laptop with the windows xp pro cd. Removing the
partitions and creating new ones works. But when i try to format the newly
made partitions the formatting gets stuck on 28%, each time I try this it
gets stuck on the same place. Could this be because my hardrive or a sector
is damaged, if so, is it possible to still use the harddrive without the
damaged sectors?

Thanks In Advance,

B.
 
Definitely a damaged hard drive, if it is relatively new you could try calling the manufacturer for a replacement.

If new partitions and a format don't fix it...not much else will.
