I have a new 36GB drive on a 9600. The SCSI-2 bus is only 10mb/s so it's pretty slow. Usually when I format drives I never select low level format or zero all data. I save that only for when I have a problematic drive. For this new 36GB drive I didn't select any of that since I wanted a quick format, but it's been stuck on "installing device driver" for about 45 minutes now. Is that normal? Formatting a SATA drive takes like 5 seconds usually.
