interesting....i didnt do a repair install, however, i do remember that the formatting went really fast, like under a minute, when it usually takes like 15-20 mins to format a hd. i believe it already detected that i was using the ntfs file system so it could do a fast format. perhaps i will do a clean-clean reformat/install . i will get back to ya
