(I am doing the security-erase that writes random data to each location on disk multiple times, so it might well just be taking awhile.) | |

@Neil Fein - There's a slight terminology problem, but basically, yeh: 'Can you get into something that looks like a Terminal there?' If you could you could run $ top at the prompt to see if Disk Utility was doing something.
