A computer motherboard is Intel i875P chipset, 80GB SATA hard drive, recently due to the computer with a virus and decided to format the hard disk to reinstall the system, but when I use the Format command in DOS, it can not format the C drive, When using FDISK partition command it prompted “Error reading fixed disk”, what’s the problem?

A: Judging from the failure the problems is likely caused by hard disk SATA interfaces. First, check the SATA serial hard drive cable is correct, access is good. Second, you must ensure that the hard disk controller serial support has been opened on the BIOS, confirm the selected boot device is a serial hard drive instead of IDE hard drive.

The method is pressing the DEL key at boot and enter BIOS settings, then enter “IDE Configuration” under “Main” option, in the “Onboard IDE Operate Mode” interface, you can find 2 Options “Compatible Mode” and “Enhanced Mode”, select the “Enhanced Mode”, and then select “S-ATA”, save and exist, if the fault is still exist, best to get the other serial hard disk drive platform to check the hard disk itself. if it fails, only way is taking it to repair.format hard drive
