I say again, DO NOT low-level format the drive. The _only_ situation
where it's worth taking this risk is when you're seeing errors from the
drive itself specifically referring to formatting issues; eg. 'address
mark not found'. There are no other circumstances which justify this
action, and a great deal of harm can come from it.

Wrong solution.
