Hy,

I remember with my 80mg (yes its 80 megabite) HDD their was an option on the motherboard bios that would allow me to do a low level format....

Why did they remove it?

Ragnar -- you should know better:

Google search = low level format

I already knew the reasons, but you can decipher the rest from there.
