- I have been following the posts about low level formatting IDE drives with
- interest. Several months ago the Computer Shopper printed the following
- routine which they said will format virtually any drive including IDE
- drives. Unfortunately I did not record which issue I took it from. I have
- never attempted to use it as I have never had a software problem FDISK
- couldn't solve. Here it is. How does it (or doesn't it) work?
