[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1210752, member: 46727"] Brand new hard drives sometimes fail right out of the box. And the hard drives that Apple uses are the same as used in other PCs. Nothing different. Erase is not the same as reformat. Erase does exactly what it says, it erases the disk. The format command is separate in Disk Utility. In any event, as 6string related, you need a new hard drive. If you have a good backup, you can restore from it to the new hard drive. [/QUOTE]
