Low Level format time
« on: May 10, 2008, 05:07:35 PM »
How long does it normally take to low level format a hard drive?  I have a 4Gig drive that has been running for 9 days so far.

It has been a few years, but wasn't a low level format used to add bad sectors to the bad sector list on the HD so that data wasn't written to that area?
