Is this really a good idea?  I was under the impression that Low-Level
formats were bad things on the more recent Hard Disks drives, in fact
they can void the warranty and damage the disk.  Quantum I know
has a Zero_Fill program which you can download to reset their disks
instead of using a Low Level format.

I would check and make sure that the disk is meant to be Low Level
Formatted before taking this step.  Besides most newer BIOS's I've
seen don't even support it anymore.
