- I don't get it! What's the difference between booting from a floppy
- and a CD-ROM? There's no point that you can NOT perform low-level format when
- boot from a CD-ROM other than from a Floppy...... To me , the CD-ROM is more
- of a floppy drive reading those write-protected FDs with huge capacity.
- Besides, what's the low-level format command and proper device name for the
- internal HD?

- Thanks in advance. :-)
