Under DOS, the format can only perform a high - level format. For the problem of low - level formatting, one can only turn to third - party software!

Low-level formatting a hard drive doesn't have many benefits. Don't use it unless absolutely necessary. Low-level formatting is generally done with DM software, and FORMAT is an advanced formatting command.

The hard drives we buy are low - level formatted before leaving the factory. Don't low - level format unless it's absolutely necessary, because that does great harm to the hard drive. format is formatting, which is not the same concept as low - level formatting. Be sure to distinguish them.

Low-level formatting isn't just format c:/u, right? Actually, there are many parameter options for the format command. I know about /q and /s. Anyone else have more to add? Come on and share if you do.
