Iirc, a true Low Level format required 3rdparty tools.
  The last time I did a low level was years ago a Connor(Seagate 
manufactured drive(small drive ~500 MB) installed in a HP tower.
Don't even remember the tool, obtained it from an IT admin on a 3.5" floppy.
  - a few months later, the drive died. Track O, un-repairable.
