Hello,

I have just bought a Simpletech 1TB external hard drive. My operating system is WIndow Vista.

How long should it take to format?

It has been running for about 3 hours now and at 34% is that about right? I called the support line, not open on weekends and where we bought it didn't offer any help.

Thanks for the assistance.
