Use quick format. The full format is the same as quick format but it also checks for bad sectors on the disk and on big volumes can take a long time. Really long. I made a wrong choice when formatting 300 GB disk and full format took around 1h as I recall. More info here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302686 |
