HEY KEVIN STOP RIGHT THERE. USE PREP.EXE. YOU WILL FIND IT IN YOUR ZDOS IT IS ONE OF THE BETTER LOW LEVEL FORMATTERS. IT IS NAMED BY MACE AS "ONE OF THE FEW TO USE." IF YOUR HARD DRIVE IS AN IDE OF ESDI DRIVE YOU'LL NEED TO RUN PREP LIKE THIS "PREP/I:1" FOR AN INTERLEAVE OF 1:1. YOUR ZDOS MANUALS HAVE ALL THE REQUIRED READING. GOOD LUCK.
