go to gateway and find a utility for it. They should have one.

why do you need to do a low-level format?

 

[boatnerd]

wanted to do a completely clean install of win2k ,i discovered some errors when trying to run .exe at the dos prompt,Microsoft said this behaviour was by design when upgarding from 98 to 2000.
thanks ...found the tool on my system CD all is well now
