Default Gateway Solo 9100 hard drive problem

Sounds like the drive has a bad sector - download the Hitachi Drive Fitness
Test
(www.hgst.com) and test the drive before going further.

Hello, I have a Solo 9100 that I am putting a new 10 gig hard drive
in. It seems to Fdisk ok but when I try to format it says
" trying to recover allocation unit 150,870" over and over but the
number changes. It ends with "Not Ready Format Terminated"
Its a Hitachi DK23. Could this drive be bad or could it be the hard
drive controller that is bad? Thanks for reading.
Mike
