Hi!I want to format a Quantum Hard Disk but it has bad clusters,
Is it recommended to use Low Level Format?
and which one?

If formatting the drive does not work, you can maybe solve the problem with a low level format. Don't use just any program, try searching at www.quantum.com to start with.
You'll probably know the parameters, heads, cylinders and such.

you haven't given enough information as to what type of hard drive this is. If it is the prehistoric non IDE type then you can use a low level format program such a s Norton's
"calibrate" etc. If it is an IDE drive then it can not be low level formatted because such is already done at the factory.

There is usually a low level format utility in the BIOS. Look under hard disk utility or something similar.

I have a computer which I'm about to sell as a second hand product. Must I do a low level format, so that the new buyer cannot excess my deleted files?
Ofcourse I'm going to run FDISK to delete the drives and then run FORMAT, and then install the OS. Thanks.
