i installed serious sam 2 and after a restart i got a currupt file so i ran chkdsk and i thought it fixed the problem. a restart later my computer wont boot. i took the hd out and tried to format it in one of my other computers but when i try to format it stays @ 0%. even when i try to install windows on it when it goes to format it stays @ 0%.

ive never had this happen before and i am stumped on what to do. im gonna rma it newegg but id like to try everything i can first before i do. any suggestions?
 
Maybe try using Fdisk and then delete all partitions. After that, recreate them and do a format. See if that works. Sounds really weird that you are having problems formatting though.

Btw, in case you need a bootdisk, you can get it at www.bootdisk.com
