formatting takes like 4-5 hours!

what program do you use that takes so long??? I use gparted for formatting and my 320GB wd hdd will be done in about 5 MINUTES.


I use the bootable disk version which is faster than whats installed on my ubuntu machine, but still even then it never takes 4 to 5 hours.

This link will help if you want to go the faster way.
GParted -- Live CD/USB/PXE/HD

I can even show you a video with proff of how fast this is.
 
I usually go with Symantec, I get it free through work/school. Never had a problem with viruses or spyware when I team that up with Adaware and Spybot.
