RE: External Hard Drive
A quick format will take less that a minute. A full format will take much longer.
A quick format is equivalant to editing only the table of contents of a book but leaving the information left on the pages (disk), rather than erasing every page and writing "I'm blank!" on each sector of the disk.
This is normally the best solution, except if selling (or giving away) a disk, because after a quick format, the data can be recovered using advanced tools, even though for most practical purposes the data is gone.
