  • Yay! I got up this morning at it says its complete! :j
    So to answer the question - 19hrs or maybe a little less, the last time I checked it was before I went to bed, and it was about 1/4 of the way through - so how the hell that status bar works I don't know, I guess it must have zipped along overnight! Not that i mind :)

    So I guess you could say it takes more than 11 hrs and less than 19 hrs to be a little more exact, since it was a Saturday I wasn't in a hurry to get up to check how it was doing :D Thanks again for all your help guys!

    Thanks for letting us know, and I hope it proves faultless in service...

    I have a 1TB SATA drive to install tomorrow, can't be bothered today - I hope that proves to be faultless. :eek:

    It's obvious, when you went to bed you turned out the light,therefore releasing more electricity to make it zip along faster. ;) :rotfl:
    Move along, nothing to see.
