Phase 1 should be very fast with USB 2.0 (for me it takes <15 sec for an 80 GB HD, filled with ~20 GB of data). If you tick "check/fix bad sectors", this could take rather long, but it should read "Phase 2" then. > Is the jukebox supposed to get that hot? If there is some time with countinuous disk access, the Jukebox may get rather hot. However, it is not recommended to access the disk continuously for a long time, because it drains the battery more than it gets recharged from the charger, and running the battery empty while the disk is accessed is definitely not good. Imho the "check/fix bad sectors" (on the os level) is of almost no use with modern hds.
