There's no point that you can NOT perform low-level format when boot from a CD-ROM other than from a Floppy...... To me , the CD-ROM is more of a floppy drive reading those write-protected FDs with huge capacity. Besides, what's the low-level format command and proper device name for the internal HD? Thanks in advance. :-) Gary
