Normal ignorant question from me (RO 5.12, so I think it's on topic
here):
HD (as supplied from Castle) reports as size = 114 GBytes, Used =
6GBytes.
Verify is greyed out in the disc menu.
*Verify in a task window took nearly an hour before I got bored and
did a Ctrl-Break.
Is this what I would expect, or am I, as usual, doing something wrong?
(BTW, I have Googled this time.)
TIA,
With best wishes,
Peter.
