Hello Chuck, well I tried hutils diagnostics utility from samsung site, which showed up errors (both during selftest or low level format), then I took the hard drive and put it into another computer, where I was able to run both diagnostics and low lever format successfully without any errors. I took also Western Digital drive and put it into failing computer, again it was new drive and I went to same errors during diagnostics from WD utilities.. So I assume that something on mainboard (probably disk controller) is failing so I will make a complaint to supplier of hardware :) Thank you..
