I have a Seagate 120 gig drive that I am having trouble formatting. When I go into the Windows Setup screen I load the sata drivers and I get to the screen where it asks if I would like to setup windows or run recovery. Either option I choose it then proceeds to check the drive and just sits on that screen saying it is checking the drive. If the drive is plugged in while I am booting from my primary drive, the system will not boot after the XP loading screen. Is there another way to format this drive or is it possible that the drive is corrupt?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
