You MUST then do a Low-Level Format on the NEW hard drive. What I mean by new is a hard drive that has never been formatted on an Amiga before.
No! You must NOT low level format.
Like said before this probably only render your hard drive unusable. In fact, most modern drives ignore the low level format command anyway (even SCSI drives!).
The physical layout of the hard disk is the same, regardless of the used hardware/OS. You do not need to and must not low level format.
