Stan, If you still have the old system folder on the hard drive, throw it away or empty the contents by starting up with a boot floppy disk. I can't understand why you had to do a low level format on the drive went a zero all data would do. Usdually a low level format is if you are trying to get rid of bad blocks and you are using the mfg or supplied utils to do such.
