   Tried it and it would not work - Left it on all night and it got stuck at   
   59%.   
   Every service I try to run on it gets hung up. Defrag, disc check and now   
   reformat all get stuck.   
   It appears I'll have to try to use the manufacturers disc utility to do it,   
   and if that does not work it will need replacing.
