To all, I have a friends PC at home AMD Athlon 650, 20gb Hard Drive whihc he wanted wiped and reformatted. Never had any problems doing this before so I backed up all his important data, booted the PC with a windows 98 startup disk and FDisked the Hard Drive, so far not a problem, however when I re-booted and tried formatting its formatting the drive at roughly 1% every 15 minutes. This seems to be far too slow to me as I have a 40gb hard drive at home with an AMD 1gb processor and only takes about 15 mins if I ever want to format it. Anyone any ideas on what could be happening, or how to speed the format up.
