URGENT HELP on HDD LLF Tool - How long does it take

[JohanN]

Hi there
I am first time user of the HDD Low Level Format Tool V2.36 build 1181
Running this on a WDC WD10EARS - 1Tb Drive

THis is now running for 18hrs and only completed 50%

Can somebody please let me know if this is a problem and How long should a LLF run on a 1Tb Drive?

Many Thanks

LLF tool isn't the fastest, that sounds a little slow, but for a 1TB its gonna take a WHILE.
