[21:50] <kdawgrave> Just making one big one.
[21:50] <kdawgrave> BUt how long do you expect a 320 gig hard drive will take to format.
[21:50] <dnl> kdawgrave: About a minute if you do a quick format.

[21:50] <chains> desktop drives
[21:50] <dnl> kdawgrave: One 320GB partition is quite big. If it gets corrupted, that's a lo
