While I'm at - When you attempt to access a Hard Disk Drive and it tells you that is an invalid Media format, is it failing or improperly configured?
I have had a Western Digital fail on me after formatting it, but first it showed that error and when formatting it kept trying to recover lost sectors. Eventually it ended up making the mainboard go haywire and I had to take everything out and reinsert to get it working again.
However, I have another Western Digital that also said it was of an 'Invalid Media format' (If I remember correctly) then it asked me to 'Abort, Retry or fail" when I pressed F (fail) It told me that the volume name was incorrect. I formatted again and it no longer showed the error. Is this hard drive deteriorating as well?
