Anyone know how to do a low-level format of a Hitachi 12G drive (IBM
FRU:09N0935)? I've tried the IBM utility disk, and it locks up if I try
to start a low level format.

The drive has some bad sectors. I've done a Norton disk doctor scan, and
a high level format, but would like to do a low level format.

I'm using a T20 w/ Win2k. I used the IBM utility disk with a Win98 boot
disk. I couldn't find any Hitachi utility to do this
