Subject: what is low level formatting?
----------
Zero Filling a SATA or ATA (IDE) drive destroys 100 of the data on the drive. Make sure the drive is completely backed up before proceeding. The Zero Fill erase option in SeaTools for DOS is the best method for use with Seagate hard drives. Some system BIOS may include a Low-Level Format option; these should be avoided, as they may produce undesirable results.
