Low-level formattering

Iflg http://www.zdwebopedia.com/TERM/l/low_level_format.html :

  Hard disks must be formatted twice before they can be used. The first format, called a low-level or physical format, sets the interleave factor and prepares the disk for a particular type of disk controller. This is generally performed at the factory.
Floppy disks must also undergo a low-level and high-level format, but these two formats are generally performed at the same time. On PCs, for example, the FORMAT command performs both a low-level and high-level format the first time a floppy is formatted.

What does \"low level formatting\" mean?

Actually the term \"low level\" is a bit of a misnomer. The low level process first used years ago in MFM hard drives bears little resemblance to what we now call a \"low level format\" for today\'s ATA (IDE) drives. A better name for today\'s low level formatting utility is intermediate- or mid-level formatting. This is sometimes referred to as the \"initialize\" or \"re-initialize\" process. The basic purpose of a mid-level format is to erase everything currently on the drive.
