High all,
I just started a new installation of Windows 2000 on a computer and 96% of the way through the hard drive format that the installation does, it stopped. It has been on 96% for the last 20 minutes and I don't think it's going to change now. I think that the computer has (for whatever reason) frozen. Now, does this mean that my HDD is now corrupted, or will it be OK? If it is corrupted, can it be fixed for less than £20.00?
I haven't turned off the computer yet, as I am hoping against all reason that the format will start up again. I sincerely doubt that it will though...
Appreciate any help.
Thanks!
