Low-Level Format internal error

February 3rd, 2008, 11:40

I am trying to do a low-level format to my HD.
The program show this message:

Code:
Current date and time: 03/02/2008 13:18:42
Hard Disk Low Level Format Tool 2.36 build 1181; http://hddguru.com
Device details for HDS722540VLAT20    V31OA60A    [41,17 Gbytes]

Details are unavailable: Internal error.
Please post this problem on http://forum.hddguru.com


Can I do a low level format anyway? Are there some risk?

I give more information:

Code:
BUS: ATA
MODEL: HDS722540VLAT20   
FIRMWARE: V31OA60A
Serial Number: The program shows blank...
LBA: 80418240
SIZE: 41.17 GB
SPEED: 7200 RPM
CHS:16383/16/63


And finally, I show you the SMART attributes screen showed by the program:
