LOW LEVEL FORMAT


Hard disks must be formatted twice before they can be used. The first format, called a low-level or physical format, sets the interleave factor and prepares the disk for a particular type of disk controller. This is generally performed at the factory. Floppy disks must also undergo a low-level and high-level format, but these two formats are generally performed at the same time. On PCs, for example, the FORMAT command performs both a low-level and high-level format the first time a floppy is formatted.
