Unable to complete file system creation

  • New disk came with NTFS tried quick wipe but the creation stop about half way with error in the GUI,also I even formated the disk in ext4 with Gparted before doing it no difference

    In gparted you should be able to delete the current partition table and create a brand new gpt partition table. And carry on from there. Run SMART tests to verify that the drive is healthy. Not out of spare sectors to replace bad ones.


    Secure wipe should be fine but not necessary.

    I followed your instructions but no luck Grrrrr!
    Also I cannot do SMART test since the disk is not visible in "add Scheduled test"

  • It could be that you don't have a hdd but an expensive door stop.


    Do you have warranty left? You said it was a new drive, so you should. Just return it.


    What does SMART say about the drive?

    Not a problem I still can return it.
    In SMART monitor is grey out just showing the Temp.
