Would someone please tell me how to do a low level format on a
harddrive under DOS3.3?  The machine is some sort of 486 I think 
(no labels!) which we normally run Unix on but which can be booted 
as a DOS machine (which no one here knows anything about.)  
The drive is a Quantum 105S.  I think the drive is trashed but
want to try a low level format to be sure.
