Faulty HD ?

[amos_ng]

I was trying to install the Win95 OS on a old computer, but couldn't.

Booted up as usual with the Win95 Boot Diskette to install from the CD ROM.
Prompted me to reformat the HD, so I formatted it.

But it took ages just for it to 'recovering file allocation table'.

Usually re-formatting and install Win95 OS was a breeze.
But now I don't know what is the problem.

Is it because:
1) Hard Disk Faulty or Bad Sector?
2)I did not partition the HD

Anyone would kindly help, would appreciate it.

Thank You
