Hey

I am formating a hard drive from my old computer that i first bought, its a 40gig samsung NTFS drive.

Anyway it looks like it gets stuck at about 4/5 way through but i left it over night and there was no change (another hard drive was fine and formated in 1hour or so) but before i went to school i gave it another go.

Anyway when i came back from school it looked as if its moved about 1cm more than before (measuring it with the letters underneath and its currently at the "e" in cancel when before it was at the "n")

Just wondering why its taking over 6 hours to format the drive. Its pretty old and i am guessing it is bad, but shouldn't it just get stuck and not move at all instead of moving at 0.00000001mph?
