Does anyone have a idea of a low level format? Or how to remove traces
some HD-producer offer a program for that. It could be worth searching their websites. I accidently left my computer magazine with the address in britain last month. ;-( but it was one of the big ones and the program would work on other disks as well.
The program is available at Maxtor's ftp server: <A HREF="ftp://ftp.maxtor.com/pub/ide/llfutil.exe"><A HREF="ftp://ftp.maxtor.com/pub/ide/llfutil.exe</A">ftp://ftp.maxtor.com/pub/ide/llfutil.exe</A</A>> The computer magazine Jürgen referred to (c't) warned that low level formating older hard disks (as a rule of thumb hardisks < 504 MB should be considered old) can destroy them.
