Answer #1

your best bet is to let it go for a day..just walk away an come back later. Because it all depends on how big the hard drive is..and how long its been since you’ve last defraged it.

good luck =]

Answer #2

depends on teh size of teh drive and how badly its fragmented…

takes me around 6 mins to do my WD 640G sata black and around 8 to 10 mins to do my WD 320G sata blue

dont leave it so long next time… a clean system is a happy system :) and less prone to system errors ;)

Answer #3

I’ve had where mine took about a day before it was done. As star124 pointed out, it depends on how big your HDD is and also one how slow/fast your computer is.
