Some additional information to share with you guys...

I spoke at length with Western Digital and ASUS yesterday. About a half an hour with each.

The Western Digital tech insists that I have no problem that this is the nature of a drive that large drive initializing.

The ASUS tech was more willing to investigate. He told me that their research lab would put together a system similar to mine with similar components and test out the configuration. He claimed that they will call me by the end of the week with some information.

Just thought I would share my lastest info with you guys. Thank you for all your suggestions and advice.

I will clear out the event viewer, reboot, and post the results
