It makes sense that a large disk takes a long time to format. If you did not check the box for quick format, you are going to write data to all 1.2 TB. That's a lot of data to write.

Quick format is the default option.
Did you mange the disk with Windows disk management?

How are you getting to that window? If you go through Disk Management and request to create a simple volume, you get this screen:
If, after you bring it online and initialize it, the OS will automatically display a window like this:
I've never seen the screen you are showing, so I can understand your confusion - but now you've transferred the confusion to me. <grin>

Friday, November 16, 2012 8:27 PM Have you tried performing any actions on the SAN itself? Is it configured correctly? Are other systems connected to the SAN having the same issue? What sort of SAN. What sort of connection? What is the rotational speed of the disks?
