Formatting computer

[tails]

I'm formatting a computer atm and it seems to have come up with an error while trying to format. Its trying to format the allocation unti 136,182 does anyone know what this means? is it an internat virus or something like that? it doesn't really worry me what it is completely as its not my computer nor the company computer i work for, its just a person thing im doing for a mate. but it would be handy if i could find out what was wrong with it so i can either fix it, or get another HDD. Thanks
