How long is Fat32formatter suppose to take? It's moving extremly slow!

My external hd is 500gb but only 464.75gb is accessible and right now its moving slow like molasses and I'm on a fast processor built for pc gaming.

you wont get access to 500GB as its not actually 500GB. Its actually a lot smaller then that due to a size calculation difference between the manufacturer and the standard system. So its normal for it to be 464.75GB.

If it says it's finished, it is finished. As simple as that.

yuo can do a quick format with it, its only changing the filesystem, all stuff will be erased as normal

too late, i waited like 4-5 hours for complete format!

btw, games work great in the games folder. But I made Video folder and for some reason the ps3 can't detect video files on my fat32 external hd... Which is weird.

NVM, just realized I had the video folder in the games folder!
