Hdd Low Level Format

[VILLO1988]

Hi to all, sorry if maybe by opening this topic i will talk about useless stuff but i really don't know how...

I want to install HDD Low Level Format in a USB to format an HDD. I need to create a Usb boot drive.


Thanx for help.

Looks like the HDD Guru tool is a windows app.. you'd need to create a PE image..

Per the FAQ:
Q: Can I install the software and the license key onto a removable media (USB stick or CD/DVD disk)?
A: Yes, simply use the version that does not need installation, unpack it to your media, and then place your license key in the file llftool.license, located in the same folder as the main executable file.

Personally i'd use rufus to copy an iso image of say sysrescueCD onto a flash drive and use one of the linux commands (eg: ddrescue, dd, etc) to wipe the media.

Remove all HDD's you don't want erased and type the following to zero out the drive:
ddrescue --force /dev/zero /dev/sda

to write random data to the drive:
ddrescue --force /dev/urandom /dev/sda
