Low level initilization of disk....how long?



Just hooked up my two new Medea 320 Gb SCSI drives.  Couldn't do the normal
initialize, so I've had to go to the "Low Level Initialize".

Darn!

Can't imagine that they're both broke/corrupted with bad sectors.  Must be
the size?  I'm doing it with only 1 partition, as eventually they will be
"striped" with my AVID (video editing) drive utility...

But...

It's been 1-1/2 hours since starting on the first drive....how long is this
going to take?

Thanks!
