Are you sure you need to do this? I've always just hooked up the HD to the sampler, and let the sampler do an ordinary format. It's always worked fine.

Your jumpers on the hard drive may not set up right. I believe they should indicate that it's a "master".

Low level should always be a last resort to fix drives with lots of bad sectors only.
