Hi ! If your drive is an IDE drive, low level formatting will harm some essential info written on the disk but, a risk being a risk, the vendor may have some program to help you. There was a program call ONTRACK that may be of some help if you can find a version that can read your HD. From old days for old drives, You may try an MS-DOS program call debug with the following instruction : start debug at the prompt, type g:C800:5 this should bring up a program with all the utilities to low level format menu including interleaves settings. Have fun !
