Now I understand this will take a long time but I did NOT plan for it to take this long. When I upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 8 the format and upgrade only took 15 minutes. I was having some pc issues and said Hey! How about I use this new reset feature and start over again. WORST MISTAKE EVER! I have no clue what this is doing but this is taking forever. So far this thing moves up 6% every hour. It's been 3 hours now and it's still on 16% Can you all tell me what is this thing doing or is this some sort of error? My hard-drive size is 1TB clean and around 900gb when a OS is installed.

I'm having the same problem started 3hrs before and its just at 21% now. Well, I decided to reset my laptop cuz after changing motherboard all games were lagging.. so if anyone of you have faced this problem (motherboard issue) please do reply. I hope my games will work fine after resetting. And don't worry my laptop configuration is totally fine 8gb ram nvidia 755m gddr5 2gb graphics i7 4700 and 1tb HDD
It's been over 6 hours and I don't even see a progress bar. It just says restarting. What should I do?
I'm on more then that started at 7 it is still at 32 and its ten am the next day. Idk if its cause ive refreshed my PC or what in the past but I still got my old account . But ugh its taking forever
Mine is 12% an hour, The whole reason why I had to do this was because of a glitch in Microsoft's UPDATE, I was playing steam last night an had to reboot, I noticed all options of shut off an restart where attached to a update, OK most updates don't take that long, right? WRONG! this one also took 10 hours only to have to do a reset, an restart the whole 10 clock again, LOST all my progress of my games not to mention all my data save files!!
mine is currently 12% inn one hour, unplugged from internet
