[LINUX_Newbies] Is low level format requried? HOw is it performed?

[justin_e_bell2000]

I  am planning to install Ubuntu on a
surplus  Dell (dual-core)   machine, that I bought from a college
surplus sale - with no hard drive.   



I was able to pick up a (wiped clean) 
SATA hard  drive rather cheaply.  


Since  the hard  drive is wiped  clean, do
I have to perform some sort of low-level format before I can install
the Ubuntu operating system from the ususal iso disk?


If some sort of low level format is
needed,  What program is required to perform the low level format? 

Is there a special procedure to follow? I spent some time looking on Google and could not get a clear
answere.


Thanks
