I think perstore is great too.  I have used it to format a Segate 4096
to 143 MB.  The only thing I am unhappy about is the SpinRite doesn't 
work correctly.  It recognizes the drive and everything is ok until it
finds a bad sector.  Then it tries "forever" to analyze it.  Gibson says
"don't worry it will stop eventually" but I don't like my hard drive
restoring to track 0 continuously for many minutes.

Anyone else have this problem or a solution?
