You don't say you're a Linux user. You say "I tried to format them on my PC. It ran for 10 hours, then failed." In a pinch, you can say. "All of the other ones I bought here formatted with no problems on my PC." Say "PC" a lot. In their mind "PC" == "Windows". It will never even occur to them that you're running Linux. -- Grant
