EDIT: I WENT TO STORE AND EVERYTHING WAS OKAY, THANKS! :)

I'm trying to format using "disk" my new hard drive to install ubuntu fully on it, but the error comes up every time. I tried using fast and slow format, both don't seem to work. here is the full error I get:

Error creating file system: Command-line `parted --script "/dev/sda" mktable gpt' exited with non-zero exit status 1: Error: Input/output error during write on /dev/sda
(udisks-error-quark, 0)

I'm trying to format because the installer also gets stuck, I dont know if the problem is my hard drive -it's new-, the pavilion computer or ubuntu. I doubt its the last one because I had similar problems installing windows 10

Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Thanks in advance!
