Title: Physical Format of 750GB Buffalo Drivestation in Windows XP Home
Post by: Silver_Fox869 on December 31, 2008, 07:22:31 AM
   Can anyone tell me how long I can expect a physical format of a 750GB Drivestation using the Disk Formatter utility? I am already at 1024 minutes and counting and it will soon be 2009 :). I hope someone can help me with an estimate of how long I will have to wait. Many Thanks

It will take a few hours, the speed of your PC and how many resources its using has a lot to do withit.  But a full formatt will take a while.
