Convenient Low Level Format Utility?

[DiamondFire13]

I need to Low Level Format a few drives, and I was wondering if there is any easier way than downloading all fo the manufacturer's utilities to do this, maybe there is an easy little windows program that can do it.

Thanks,
Paul

There is no such thing as a low-level format anymore..

edit: but yeah... use the manufacturers thing. i havent found anything that does them all. but then again, FDISK and FDISK /MBR take care of most of my hdd problems.

Just use the manufacturer's utility. Look for one that writes zeroes to the hard drive.

Alright, will do.

I have some software that detects "Already installed" unless I do somthing more than FIDSK and FDISK /MBR

Thanks guys, I'll just stick with waht the manufacturer says.
