    Why would hard drive not format/

    Got SeaTools, installed and running it, but no where did I find an option for write to zero. Same question stands: if I can find a way to write zero in this SeaTools, would it wipe out the MBR. Right now the drive shows up as RAW.

    Why would hard drive not format/

    A good thought! Though I have to say, the enclosure was working fine with another hard drive just prior to pulling it out to install this problematic one. To absolutely rule out any chance of the enclosure's contribution to the problem, you are right. Thanks.

    best way to test if motherboard is working

    What an expensive lesson! Is there no other way to try to get DFI to see their illogical reasoning? I am not denying that there are no physical damage, but for all I know, I did not cause it. This is not a cheap mobo.

    Regards to your first question, I was be extra careful, so didn't force any thing. Bending them while removing? I really don't know here. Possible, but I wouldn't know. No, I did not ship the board with the pins protected, but placed in in the confinement of the original packaging box...

    best way to test if motherboard is working

    With my case, the RMA got back to me and said there is a short circuit in the motherboard.
