Re: cRIO Has been formatting for well over two hours.

Definitely OK to stop it and try again. It may be worthwhile to ensure that the windows firewall is disabled and that the IP settings put the laptop and cRIO on the same subnet. Depending on the laptop circuitry, it is also helpful sometimes to connect the cRIO and laptop to a switch such as the DLink of the robot. Laptops especially are prone to shutting down their ethernet chips when no devices are present. As the cRIO reboots, the laptop powers down and then back up its chip and does this so slowly that the imaging SW thinks something is wrong and gives up.

If simply retrying the imaging doesn't work, you may want to try with the safe mode.
