2 GB flash drive formatting time

[Jirka Ylönen]

Very basic question. If one needs to format TomTom's 2GB flash drive via USB (with full format), how long should it approximately take (naturally computer's speed influences to that). Quick format doesn't work at least in Windows.

How long do you find it is taking for you? Could be at least an hour, I think.

Good to know. I couldn't bear to wait so long, but stopped formatting because I thought it was frozen.
Let's try again.

Generally, we don't recommend QuickFormat anyway, so go ahead and let it do it the 'long' way.
