Damn it - a tip for the future

Post by Gisborne »

Just a little hint for myself and other in the future.

When formatting a HDD of say 250GB, remember to hit the QUICK FORMAT button!!

So far it's been going for over a hour and olny at 41% done... :o
Would not normally mind so much but I can't get a damn thing done untill it has finished.
When the bad gets good...
