Thread: New Hard Disk Error ( partition table is bad )

i bought new hard disk ( western digital 750gb )
, when opened partition magic 8 on windows 7 tells me "partition table bad " partition magic stops

tried formatting through ubuntu failed error

code:

error creating file system: helper exited exit code 1: error calling fsync(2) on /dev/sdb: input/output error

don't know , windows cannot read or view hard disk , same things ubuntu .. please

in advance

input/output error: sounds me drive's physical connections may little loose, or motherboard doesn't recognize hard drive (which happen time time). check motherboard's documentation check angle, , make sure of cables securely connected.

also, though have never experienced myself, while building computers, best grounding wrist strap don't fry hardware. though remote possibility, possibility. also, try turning on computer case open , see if can hear hd making startup sounds. if it's solid state, not happen, if it's traditional hard drive, make noise. if not, may have faulty drive.
