Hi!  I have a micropolis 1375 hard disk that I would like
to format with Storware (made by UniMac) ... does anybody
out there on the net know if Storware formats the "zero
block" (I think that's what it's called ... y'know, the
part of the HD that contains all of the formatting info).

Micropolis says that I have to send the drive to them to
get the "zero block" (or whatever) reformatted ... which
isn't a big deal ... unless I can do it with the software
that I have here already.

Suggestions?

Ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Brad
