How long?
So I'm putting Windows 98 on an old Toshiba Satellite and its being reformatted as we speak but its taing forever! About how long should it take to do this?
Bumped up to 56% fairly quickly but the crawl from 56% to 59% was so long I tried it again but I'm getting the same result on the second go round. Any ideas?
