    RAID 5 Formatting Stuck
    « on: March 08, 2008, 10:53:59 AM »
    hey, quick question.  So I got 3 hard drives, 500 GB, SATA and I did that hack on Tom's hardware to get Raid 5 in Win XP.  So I did that and installed the drives and got into Disk Management and everything was fine.

    I started formatting them as a Raid 5 array and it was like... 3 % when I went to sleep, and when I woke up it was 29%.  Unfortunately I've been up for like 4 hours and its still at 29%.  It feels like the second I turned the monitor back on the formatting somehow stopped.

    any help would be great.  thanks.
