Thats all bullshit. There's no such problems occur when u format ur hard-disk.
Quick-erase will erase just the file format and load the new one which is very light task.
Your hard-disk recognizes data in magnetic direction like say north pole equals to 1 and south pole equals to 0. While full formatting it will de-mgnetise the partiation leavingas no data on the disk and then load the file format.
Actually the hard-disk faulty ratio is very high due to which most of the consumers start making their own conclusions.
Seagate own faulty ratio is 1:8 means out of 8, 1 can be faulty.

High Level formatting and Low Level formatting

GUNNING DOWN TEAMS
LOW LEVEL FORMATTING-
Low-level formatting is the process of outlining the positions of the tracks and sectors on the hard disk, and writing the control structures that define where the tracks and sectors are. All modern hard disks are low-level formatted at the factory for the life of the drive.
HIGH LEVEL FORMATTING-
High-level formatting is the process of writing the file system structures on the disk that let the disk be used for storing programs and data. High-level formatting is done after the hard disk has been partitioned, even if only one partition is to be used.
The distinction between high-level formatting and low-level formatting is important. It is not necessary to low-level format a disk to erase it: a high-level format will suffice for most purposes; by wiping out the control structures and writing new ones, the old information is lost and the disk appears as new.

Sysfilez try changing the SATA cable.Aslo see which transfer mode is active.SATA II r cableof UDMA6.Give more info bout ur motherborad model and BIOS.If its a Seagate drive then use Seatools and DiskWizard for dignostics and repair.Check whether the SMART values of the HDD r within limit or not.Use Drive Fitness Test(DFT) to check the condition of ur drive.
