     Does anyone out there in net.land know the procedure for
low-level formatting the hard drive in a Zenith 386/20?  I have
tried several times using the DOS debug.com and the following:
g=c800:5  g=d800:5  g=c800:00H etc. etc. etc. to no avail.  I'm
running DOS 4.01 and I have several partitions on my hard drive,
hence the need to nuke it.  Thanks in advance.
