LOL, who knew? A few weeks ago, I did that with two 2 TB drives sequentially. (Why sequentially? ... because I wasn't thinking.) I headed out of town on a business trip for a week, and arrived back in time to watch the job finish. Thankfully it was an in-house project that no one was waiting for. I remember it taking 48 hours to prep a 40 MB (not GB) MFM hard drive for Novell Netware oh so many years ago. We are so spoiled nowadays - generally just pop drives in and go. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
