Click "Fix checked" button.

[Broni]

how does it format a whole hard drive in 10 seconds!?

Quick Format.  Vista does that by default, since a full format of today's ginormous hard drives can take an eternity...

lost all of my 18k songs

Since it was a quick format, you may be able to use Recuva or some other undeleter to get them back.  Of course you'll need another hard drive to copy the recovered data to.

Bottom line: if you need to back up your data, have an external hard drive handy.
