I got acronis under recomendation (thanks guys) Did a back-up and needed to restore my drive so I booted from the cd and did the wizard and started restoring. ETA is 2 hours then I came back 20 min later still at the same spot. Is that normal, does it usually take a while? Oh, also im restoring a 40GB partition.

    Bad CD or HDD? Try the HDD manufacturer's diagnostic utility.

    If it's for reinstall then just do a normal installation and along the way you'l have to format. If it's just to format, you could try the recovery console but I don't know if it has the option.
