Software to format SATA HDD

**MiretanK** · March 25th, 2008

Like Boot 'N Nuke. That didn't work with my SATA hard disk, that's why I am looking for other.

In before "use windows' cd", I need to start this HDD from scratch.

Any OS you install on it will format it for you.....and if you already have an OS running and this is a storage drive, just format it from the OS.

Ok, IN BEFORE OS CDS. -_-"

I want a third party software, like Boot N Nuke.

the latest Seagate disk wizard can create a boot disk capable of formating sata drives.

Can partition magic do the trick?

why not just use the OS CD one? its the same thing!

if you wanna low level format it (zero drive, not a normal format) you have 2 options

1. get the disc to do so from the drive manufacturers site and run that
2. put it in another machine and get Active Killdisk
