Why would you do it that way? Use PartitionMagic or some equvilant (sp) program. So much faster that way.

pumpkin or pecan?

40 mins is probably too long. you should check the disk for erors if it ever finishes formatting.

he sees your reply, and has noted it

1/8/2006 1:11:27 AM

NTFS quick format.

Theres no real reason to do a full format.

10 seconds

maybe he wants to delete some pirated files.

1/8/2006 1:19:06 PM

that doesn't actually delete them

To completely destory files on a drive it needs to be overwritten around 32 times.

Although 3-pass or 7-pass is typically used, the "incriminating" data can still be recovered with highly sophisticated equipment.

that is when you just get some thermite and physically destroy the drive
