If you partition a hard drive without using the 'quick' option, it's gonna be slow, especially for a 250GB drive. It takes a working 40GB Seagate drive I have an hour and a half to format.

It would help us if you would explain your problem better.

After rereading your original post I am not sure what your problem is either. Is it the partitioning and formatting? You know you must partition FIRST and then format.

What tools are you using to partition and format?

You have to be using something to partition and format. What is it? What I mean is HOW are you trying to partition?

Please explain what program you're trying to use to partition/format. Are you formatting within Windows? What errors if any are you getting?
