A friend is using a 10 meg Profile on his Apple IIe.  In the last week or
two it suddenly will not boot - booting from another disk and then looking
at the Profile's volumes works just fine though.  He thinks that he needs
a low level formatting to be done.

He was told that there was 'no way' this could be done cheaply - it would
be easier to buy a new drive.

Isn't this just a matter of some software?  What kind of software is
available for this to be done?  Someone else mentioned that there was some
software for the Apple /// that could low level format the drives - my
friend has access to one or more of those.

Any help would be appreciated.
