The correct way to Format a drive

Downham45 :

Go to My Computer, right-click the drive you want to format and select Format. That's a low-level format.

Hope I helped!

I don't think a manual low level format is safe. Are you trying to wipe a HD on a PC being donated? Use Dariks Boot & Nuke. http://www.dban.org/

A true low level format hasn't been possible outside the factory since the MFM/RLL days.

A format from My Computer IS a low-level format...
