I changed HDD on my c454e. Physically formatted new HDD (HDD is same size) and turned off machine. When i turn on there was a message "reset the encryption passphrase or format the hdd". I did encryption passphrase and restart. There was message again "reset the encryption passphrase or format the hdd". That is why I decided to format it logically. I start logical format and after 2 hour there is still 0%.
Please help me, What I did wrong?
On my experience, just only take logical format with a new HDD.
I have seen that before. Think I googled it and found the solution to get rid of message. If I remember correctly the google search brought me back to this forum where the procedure was. Perhaps google it or search this forum.
boot up, enter admin mode and it will ask to format there on the screen. say yes.

I tried, but nothing found
Was this HDD new or used?
Sound like a faulty HDD. Fit it into a USB caddy & do a scan in Windows.

a colleague just ran into this, run a clear all data in initialization in svc mode, then it will format after a reboot.
then movie data then restore address book if needed

Also came across this bit of information:
Perform a physical format of the HDD.
1. Call the Service Mode to the screen.
2. Touch [State Confirmation] -> [Memory / HDD Adj.] -> [HDD Format].
3. Touch [Physical Format].
4. Press the Start key to start the physical format.
5. It stops automatically when the physical format completed.
IMPORTANT
- If [HDD Encryption Setting] is not set to "ON," when the physical format is completed and the main power switch is turned OFF/ON, a message that prompts you to set an encrypting word is displayed.
- If you perform [HDD Encryption Setting], after setting an encrypting word, perform the logical format.
6. Touch [Logical Format].
7. Press the Start key to start the logical format.
8. It stops automatically when the logical format completed.
9. Turn OFF the main power switch; and then turn it ON after waiting more than 10 seconds.

The only thing that I can add is that there is a selection during the Encryption Password procedure that's not intuitive. I've had to repeat the procedure a couple times to figure out the correct choice. Sorry that I don't remember the exact wrong selection, but I've done it a couple times. =^..^=
If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
