I think that I won't think of buying any other Hitachi product in the future. NO more. Completely new build with Core II Duo on Asus P531 motheboard, with one already formatted and installed Seagate. Passed without any problem. This thing, stopped after 8% of the entire process. I left it over night and formatting reached only 2% further! This is Sata drive, but I believe it is something else, because Seagate is too, and there were no issues of any kind with. Any help is appreciated.

Seagate stands for number one manufacturer. Concerning reliability and performance. Hitachi is something else. Great company too. Do you have Sata drivers for the device? This might be the problem resolution. It is in most cases. Some chipsets are communicating quite ok with every hard drive brand or type by default. Some of them require sata drivers first. During the windows setup press F2 when shown below. This will lead you to portion where you can install sata drivers.
