Just wondering what sort of times people have been seeing when formatting new larger HD's in their Snaps. I have a 2000, v2:

System: 3.4.805
Hardware: 2.0.0
Serial: 48xxx
BIOS: 2.0.252
RAM: 128MB
Built: Apr 5 2001

I have just installed 2 new WD2500JB's (250GB). Booted server and have the usual lights for formatting (as described in other threads here) - System light double flashing and Disk light on solid. Well, this has been going on for over 3 hours now. I have read threads describing format times anywhere between 20 minutes and 23 hours. What should I be seeing?
