I did some search, and I figured i just have to leave it.
whats your verdict?
thanks

haha yup. Now you know not to do that anymore. I believe through your RAID controller you can set it to initialize in the background, that way if this happens in the future you'll be able to load to desktop and still use your computer while it's verifying everything.
