-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Formatting External HDD

CHKDSK can take a while depending on the size of the drive and the amount of 
data on it, but it shouldn't be running this long, especially with a 120GB 
drive.  Go ahead and stop the scan for now.

How full is this drive and do you have any problems accessing it normally?

Peace,
Gman
