Generic Low Level HDD Formatter

Hi,

I would like to perform a low level format on a Western Digital 3.2G
HDD. Note: "Format", that comes with the OS, only does high level formatting.
Do you know where I can get a generic low level HDD formatter program?

Thanks in advance, Brad

That is a "mid-level" formatting process. Low-level formatting is done at
the place of manufacture.

lOW LEVEL FORMATTING HAS BEEN A MANUFACTUERER'S JOB SINCE THE DAYS WHEN zbr
STARTED AND THE SERVO INFO MOVED INTO THE DATA TRACK.

yES, YOU MAY SEE A bio WITH A LOW LEVEL OPTION OR EVEN A PIEVE OF SOFTWARE
SOME SOME OF THE SOFTWARE JUST WRITES ZERO O THE WHLE DISK/

No that's a website.

It's actually not formatting but zeroing a portion of the drive.
