if you are trying performing a 'quick format', now try normal format. If it still doesn't work, try formatting from DOS (or Windows command prompt). If it still doesn't work, run scandisk (from DOS or Windows if it is still running) and look for bad sectors in your disk, if there are many bad sectors or the scan was too slow then it means you need a new disk.

just try format it by installing on another system and if that doesn't work then try complete scan before formatting and search for bad sectors. then again try to format it. May this works for you
