    How to fix it up on a brand new hard disk where there is no partitions?
    When I wanted to create a new partition it gives me this error. I can't
    even format it to a Linux EXT4 partitions and Swap spaces. Primary, Logical
    partition nothing works.

    You are very welcome! Hope you gave it a thumbs up and subscribed to this
    channel. Also, I hope you have removed all the data from the hard drive.
    It's probably a bad drive at this point.

    Unfortunately, I don't know what to do if it's sticking on your hard drive
    in the check disk process. If I come across any other solutions for fixing
    the drive, I'll let you know.

    I'm not sure if your hard drive is recoverable then.

    Hey the same thing happens to me at 45% in Stage 2. Did you ever get your
    problem resolved?

    Thanks so much for the video, it is the SAME issue I have with my external
    drive and it ALMOST helps me but like one of the other commenters, mine
    gets stuck in the stage 2 of 3 at 45%. End of story! Oh well, thanks for
    the info though...if you have any ideas, please share. Thanks!!!

    You're very welcome. Hope you get your files back off the hard drive. I
    would recommend getting rid of the hard drive as well.

    You're welcome! I would recommend getting everything off of the hard drive
    as this may be a sign that your drive is going to crash.

    Fantastic! Thanks for commenting! I would get everything off of that Hard
    Drive as soon as possible. When you start getting these cyclic redundancy
    issues, it's generally a sign that the hard drive is on it's way out.

    Much appreciated! This did the trick on my HDD using the x: /f/r method as
    it found one bad sector.

    so strange,windows 7 recognizes and loads the driver and can be seen under
    device manager but cannot be accessed from even dos prompt to chkdsk. Any
    advice?

    Unfortunately, no. I put the advice I have into the video. I'm sorry not to
    be of more help for you.

    I seem to be stuck at 73 percent and only stage 2 of 3. How long is this
    suppose to take? It's a bit worrying that it's taking so long.

    You can't use this option if your drive does not mount or show up in your
    system.

    Great! Glad to hear that it helped you and that you're taking the smart
    step of backing up your hard drive.

    I would just google it... that's the only way I would know how to do that
    with a hard disk. Sorry not to be of more help.
