You MUST then do a Low-Level Format on the NEW hard drive.
IT WILL WORK! :-D
No, it may not work. Low-level formating a harddisk may make it unusable. You should never use HDToolBox to low-level format a drive.
Most harddisk makers have special tools for low-level formating thier drives. These tools perform the format while retaining the defect list and other information. Using a tool like HDToolBox wipes that information out. I learned this the hard way and I'm warning you now: DON'T DO IT. Use HDToolBox to partition the drive (but not low-level format!) and use the OS tools to format those partitions.
