HDX database rebuild - how long does it take?
Posted by: AdeF on 29 December 2008
Perhaps I should not have done this (the Desktop Client software did not issue dire warnings) but on Saturday p.m., via the Desktop client software, I told my HDX to rebuild its database - and then restarted the HDX to allow it to do so.
There are approx 600 CD's ripped locally on this HDX.
How long should this rebuild take?
It is now well over 36 hours since I restarted the HDX and all I see is still only the "please wait" on-screen message.
I am reluctant to power the HDX off again, and start all over again, in case the rebuild has simply not yet finished.
Doing the simple sums, if each CD were to take (say) 4 minutes, then that means 15 CD's per hour or 360 per day; so 600 CDs would require 40 hours ....
All help greatfully received ....
