ot: low level format

[J. Polivka]

Utility mozna existuji, ale doporucuji dukladne precist dokumentaci, tedy pokud tam je. Disk muzete velmi snadno poslat do vecnych lovist a zaruka asi bude v haji.

  Ja si to myslel taky . Mam pocit, ze tam uz je ponekud slozitejsi nastaveni nez u starych disku kde se nastavovalo snad jen poradi sektoru a pod.Ale utilito na to existuji treba na www.slunecnice.cz nebo www.stahuj.cz ale podle tady toho to u modernejsich disku nema zadny smysl.

  If you've explored other areas of this material describing hard disks, you have learned that modern hard disks are much more precisely designed and built, and much more complicated than older disks. Older disks had the same number of sectors per track, and did not use dedicated controllers. It was necessary for the external controller to do the low-level format, and quite easy to describe the geometry of the drive to the controller so it could do the LLF. Newer disks use many complex internal structures, including zoned bit recording to put more sectors on the outer tracks than the inner ones, and embedded servo data to control the head actuator. They also transparently map out bad sectors. Due to this complexity, all modern hard disks are low-level formatted at the factory for the life of the drive. There's no way for the PC to do an LLF on a modern IDE/ATA or SCSI hard disk, and there's no reason to try to do so.

    Hmm.. a ja myslel, ze low-level format uz na "novejsi disky" (tj. tak 5 a vice
    let zpet??) "nefunguje"...
