Hi,

I ran in to some problems the other night while trying to perform a low level
format on my internal harddrive. Maybe you could advise me on the situation. 

I was having some Media Errors on my internal drive, and people suggested to me
that performing a low level format on that drive would eliminate those
problems. So I used the program sdform to format the drive. The program
said that it would take about 5 minutes to format the 100MB disk. But the
formatting was done in 5 seconds. I then repeated the process with the disk
program and the same thing occurred. Am I doing anything wrong here? I
don't think dong a low level format would only take 5 seconds!

Ugh, I just want to get rid of those media erros!

Please respond by email and I'll post a summary. Thanks.
