Unfortunately I don't know the orginal poster of this question
but assuming that it is a complete Vectra RS/20 involved - the
low level format program is part of the Vectra setup utility.
This program will not run on other PCs so if the drive and
controller are in a non-HP device you'll have to get something
like SpeedStor from Storage Dimensions.....
