when i reformatted a friends pc i used winxp set up to delete the primary partition and then format to NTFS (full not QUICK) prior to installation, as I do with my own pc.
I have a 120GB Maxtor diamond plus 9 sata and it takes about 7-10 minutes to create and format the drive for NTFS.
When I did same to a friends pc (80 GB MAXTOR SATA) it took about 10 seconds.. it zipped through it this seems odd is there any reason why it should be so quick?
