When I formatted a 500gig drive, I think I used the options under the
Partition tab and set seceuriy to 100%. It did not take long to format.

   Now am trying to format a new WD Passport 1t drive using the same
options. Its going to take 17 hours?!?

   Before I start it over again, I would like to know how I should do
this. Thanks.
