Now it is 10:00 and since about 2 hours the program shows the same figure: 8%. Just out of curiosity, how long will I have to wait for?

What can I do?

If it's showing a % and that % hasn't changed in a long time, your drive must have given up/got stuck.

 

ImgBurn isn't actually doing anything other than querying the drive each second to see if it's still busy formatting and if so, how far it's got.

 

I'd probably reboot and try again if I were you.

 

Can I get you to post the 'family tree' info for your drive please?

 

Right click the drive selection box when you're in Write mode and click 'Family Tree'. Close the prompt that comes up and then copy + paste everything from the Log window.

 

Thanks.
