I've been looking around lately for a general purpose hard drive low level
formatting program. Since this is not the type of thing you find at your
local "Egghead" shop I'm forced to bug you folks with this query.

The software would ideally support many different types of drives and
manufacturers and offer extensive error checking of the drive. I'm
certain they are available as I recall seeing one menu driven program
on a tech's workbench one day as I was picking up my computer.

Can anyone offer suggestions to this? Commercial or sharware/pd packages
are fine.

Thanks.
