Depending on what you use to do the formatting and the type of format, between 1-30 mins.

use a system mechanic ,Norton
system works , VCOM system suite product it defrag, check error also check malaware/adware/spyware/virus it does a tune-up on the hard drive like spring cleaning it works alot faster than the WINXP version.
al so depend on the cpu speed , ram ,power supply any dust bunny in the tower ?

depends on your processor speed. If not less than 500Mhz, less than 30 minutes.
