[QUOTE="New2TheMac, post: 1041634, member: 139905"] When I did the latest reformat I'm guessing it took more than 10 minutes while on the blue screen with the turning gear. On the latest reformat I didn't touch the power button, though I did unplug the router. Before this reformat I did repair permissions and zeroed out the hard drive and deleted the partition. Do you think I should do another reformat or should this be good? Edit: And back to the blue screen with the turning gear. While I'm guessing it may have taken longer than 10 minutes I can't say for sure. It seemed like it was going to take a while and that it may not switch at all, so I unplugged the router and went downstairs and had dinner. When I came back up the computer was sitting at the desktop. [/QUOTE]
