- I have a Sony 650MB Magneto Optical removable disk drive. Does
- someone know how long it takes to low level format such disk?
- (I know I should not try to do it, but the disk I got has
- formated fewer tracks than the specs say there are, 18611 as
- opposed to specified 18751). Is it reasonable to attempt to
- reformat it ? My initial guess is that it could take longer than
- a week? Could someone who knows it better either email me or post
- the answer?
-
- Thank you in advance,
-
