How long does a full format take?
#22
I've give an estimate of around 3-5 hours, depending on your hard drive size. Especially if you're ranging from 500Gb to 1TB. 3-5 hours is a considerable estimate that you should expect.

(Disregarding any corruption issues that you might have if that's the reason you are formatting your hard drive over again...)

I've reformatted lots of computer drives before. Reinstalling Operating Systems. And I can usually have an entire PC up within the same day start to finish if I keep at it. Windows updates, drivers, programs and all of that takes up a bit of the time.
