How does one do a low level format? I got asked to do this at work but no one would tell me how.
If you use SCSI drives, then the SCSI adaptor may have a BIOS function for invoking low-level disk formatting operations, assuming the drive hardware permits it. You could look there. But I had gotten the impression (in this list a while back, if I recall correctly) that modern drives have their addressing information written at the factory and provide no means to change or redo it in the field.
