What does low level format a SATA or ATA (IDE) drive mean? Actually the term low level is a bit of a misnomer. The low-level process first used years ago in MFM hard drives bears little resemblance to what we now call a low-level format for today's SATA and ATA (IDE) drives * +

Zero Filling a SATA or ATA (IDE) drive destroys 100 of the data on the drive. Make sure the drive is completely backed up before proceeding. The Zero Fill erase option in SeaTools for DOS is the best method for use with Seagate hard drives. Some system BIOS may include a Low-Level Format option; these should be avoided, as they may produce undesirable results. * +
