To format a 2 Terabyte Hard Drive. Goodness if I knew then what I know now, I would have waited until we were going on vacation! It might be done by time we got back!
Oh, in reality, I knew it was going to be a long time, I was just moaning a bit last night, what happened is I trashed the MBR on this drive and was working on getting back up and operational. This will the one partition.
Didn't work, tried it, the Master Boot Record was destroyed on this drive, so I had to take it all the way back to the beginning and start over, I finally got another drive in the machine and had to pull this one, drop in an enclosure and redo the whole drive, just like we had to do in the old days.
I was ready to put a floppy drive in that I have laying around and booting off the old MS-DOS disks I thought I had(Wife threw them away, I found out!) and play like I was installing windows 3!
i can not remember if i had to format my ssd drive. i know i had to move data and partions before i could do a drive to drive transfer that was a nightmare as i never got a windows disk and i hate to move a partion on a live drive.
Most drives now a days have the MBR and such set up on them, there is no reason to do low level formatting and such on them, normally you just plug them in and go from there.
