Formatting big hard drives meh </rant>

Seems like 1TB drives are still flakey...

Mine has been going strong for a year now, and has been over 3/4 full at times, especially during video capturing and editing.
FRAPS is not kind to HD space.

Did a full format on a 1.13Tb Raid yesterday and got too 99% before it hung..... :nono:

Next try did a "quick format", near enough

I can reformat and reinstall winXP in under an hour........




granted....160gb isnt exactly a big hard drive....

I would hope anyone can do that with XP and that hard drive. Now try that with 4.9TB (moving files as upgrading) and with the amount of software I have. Video editing, photo editing, audio editing, DVD authoring, and so on.
