  2. Disk formatting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_formatting

    Formatting a disk for use by an operating system and its applications typically involves three different processes. [e]Low-level formatting (i.e., closest to the hardware) marks the surfaces of the disks with markers indicating the start of a recording block (typically today called sector markers) and other information like block CRC to be used later, in normal operations, by the disk ...

    The Linux fdformat program works with the kernel floppy driver. It simply formats a floppy disk using whatever parameters is already known to the system. [1] The setfdprm can be used to provide the system with unusual formatting parameters with which to format.

  4. High- and low-level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-_and_low-level

    A low-level programming language is one like assembly language that contains commands closer to processor instructions. In formal methods, a high-level formal specification can be related to a low-level executable implementation (e.g., formally by mathematical proof using formal verification techniques).

  5. Floppy disk format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floppy_disk_format

    When a soft-sectored disk is low-level "formatted", each track is written with a number of bytes calculated to fit within 360 degrees at the highest expected motor speed. Special bit patterns are written right before the location where a sector should start, and serve as identifiers, similar to the punched holes used by hard-sectored disks.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Disk_formatting

    The ambiguity in the term “low-level format” seems to be due to both the inconsistent documentation on Web sites and belief by many users that any process below a “high-level (file system) format” should be called a low-level format.

  9. Superformatting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superformatting

    "Notched" disks will usually turn up a lot of bad sectors, especially if the formatted capacity is a considerable (1.5 to 3) number of times higher than intended. Superformatting is usually done with a low-level format (such as "FORMAT /U" in DOS and "fdformat" in Linux.)
