Alright in one thread off another forum a reviewer/user of a HDLoader says it only took him 3 minutes to format a 160gig drive.. Another user in another forum describes the same problem you're having with the hangups and never ending format. Maybe you just got a bad product.. only way you could find out for sure is get ahold of another copy from another source and give that a try.. Other than that dunno..
