    Hey Guys
    Does anyone know of a good low level hard drive formatting application? I've been searching around the web for one with no avail.

    Micro 2000 diagnostics kit includes a low level format application, I have used it to rescue some hard drives successfully.
    You could look at their website www.micro2000.com but the package doesn't come cheap.

    If I'm not mistaken, HDD manufacturer's software such as Maxtor's Maxblast and WesternDigital's LifeGuard contain these utilities. They should work on any drive without problems.

    You are correct Rick. They work very well too. Especially good if you have bad sectors that are keeping you from using a drive.
