Anyone: I have purchased a Maxtor 7345-SCSI II 340 meg HD. Upon installing it I needed to select Change Drive Type from the Hdtoolbox option. Then I selected Define new drive type and obtained the HD info. After exiting the set Drive type window Hdtoolbox told me to do a low level format of the drive. OK so now I have selected this option and the hdtoolbox window indicated Formatting, please wait. My question is…how long does this operation take? I can hear the hd speeding up and down and there is an occasional flickering of the hd light. "May the Warp be with you!" (c) 1993 Michael McCormick
