The reason i asked that question is because i installed Raid 0 on my pc and
it was one of the options in the raid bios along with creating and deleteing
raid sets. My First Raid creation and of course it isn't working right.
Thanks for the info, I guess i won't click on low level format then,who
knows what it will do.
Thanks Steve

Chuck said:Well, not exactly.
The current "low level" format is done only with a utility from the drive
Mfr. It can do such things as extensive drive testing, track and sector
sparing, set the drive size, and other things that vary greatly from mfr to
mfr. Some mfrs make such a utility available on request, or to an
authorized dealer or wholesaler, others keep it in house.
