Lines: 37 Hi netlanders, I have some problems with my hard disk. Sometimes I'm unable to access it, and I want to try to low-level format the drive. But I can't find the command to do the low-level format. I've tried the "standard" command in DEBUG: g=c800:5 but that hung the machine. The disk-drive is a Quantum ProDrive with 40 MB Capacity This is the line in my Set-up table: Type Cyln Head Sect W-pc L-zone Size 28 965 5 17 0 1000 40 MB My PC is a COMMODORE PC40-III with MS-DOS 3.30 Email or post answers. Thanks in advance for any help... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _ Plopp, ssssssssshhhhh ,.( ) Glub, glub, glub, glub, guunk ( )., Bang!
