need installation help

Hey guys, I 'be been using arch for a while now but I crashed my computer. This time when I ran the install I wanted to dual boot so I installed windows first. Then when I ran arch and I typed
Mkfs.ext4 /Dev/sda1
It returned me an error when it was writing a super block it said that it had an ata bus error. I knew that that was weird so I deleted windows. Now it continues to give me more and more errors like this whoever I install. I hate windows now, please, please help me!!!!

Re: need installation help

Do you have anything on the drive which you need? If so, back it up immediately if you can.

Did you mean that you typed

mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1

? That's not what you said but it seems somewhat more plausible.

Only troubleshoot the drive if you have everything off it that you need.
