I have no idea how to do a Low Level Format on a hard drive using the IBM XT drive controler. I know how to do it using a WD controler, but I can find NO info on how to do this with the XT controler. HELP!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!! -- John R. Wersan, Jr. Big Electric Cat Public UNIX ..!cmcl2!phri!dasys1!wersan

If it is an Adaptec, then you do the low level format similar to the WD. With debug, g=c800 ..... If it is another type of controller, there is a low level format on the XT diagnostics floppy, and there are programs posted on several BBS that will perform the low level format.
