"HDToolBox is a bad example, as it will NOT lowlevel format the drive."
It wont? Gee, I wonder what that button labeled "Low Level Format Drive" is for
then? You suppose someone at CBM put it there to fool the rest of us <g>. I
used it to Low-Level format my Toshiba MK535B drive. I guess the only reason it
took 15-minutes to come back and say it was ready was because CBM put in a
timing loop. Gee, those guys are such pranksters <g>.
Are you saying that HDToolBox low level formatting is bogus, or that the
Quantum drives require a special type of low level formatting?
