Sorry to butt in here... are we all sure about this low-level format
thing? im sure i heard civileme say that it can do more damage than good
in certain circumstances.
If you are going to stick with Linux and get rid of Windows im sure that
the standard format in the Mandrake install process will do the job just
fine.
Just a thought, correct me if im wrong..
