DOS/WinNT has never actually formatted partitions, there is no such command.
Long format, like Chkdsk /R, does a SCSI VERIFY which USB bridge translates
to IDE.
This does not transfer data, so I don't know why it would take more than an
hour per platter.
As long as CPU is not significant, it is not affected by other applications.
Our Timmy just jumped up for joy.

I'm formating a 500gb External HD and it's taking forever. Is it safe to
run other apps. (games, DL's, ect.) while it's formating or better to
let it finish first?
