Yes. Wikipedia: HDD Low Level Formatting

Note that you can't possibly LLF a SCSI HDD - there's no SCSI command to do it.


Hmmmm ... maybe I'm wrong but ..........

You 'DO' LLF an SCSI drive (at least thats my understanding)
But an IDE drive only gets standard format.

Forgot one piece of info, it is a SCSI drive, not IDE.




Ah..... :-)   now, what file system are you running.
You can't format a drive over 4 gigs with the Commodore
FastFileSystem. You said its a 4 gig drive but I'm guessing
its actually something like 4.2 gig or whatever.
There are some HD tools that will format it and install
SFS but I don't know which ones.
I'm sure someone will supply that info.
