how cann I make "low level format"

I would like to make "low level format" all my drives. I have partition magic 8 with me, goes with this program? if yes, where? I cann´t found it?
Cann i do/make it with Bios or Dos.
thanks
 
lowlevel format is just raw. You can just fdisk the drives and completly wipe out the partition tables all together.

Is that what you are trying to accomplish?
 
or are you trying to write zeros to the drive so data will be almost impossible to retrieve?
 
Active Killdisk will perform a low level format by booting from a prepared 3 1/2" floppy or cd-r. You can download the free version at http://www.killdisk.com/downloadfree.htm

Active@ Kill Disk - Hard Drive Eraser

Active@ KillDisk - Hard Drive Eraser is powerful and compact DOS software that allows you to destroy all data on hard and floppy drives completely, excluding any possibility of future recovery of deleted files and folders. It's a hard drive and partition eraser utility.
If you use FDISK, FORMAT utilities, or DELETE standard operating system command for data removal, there is always a chance to recover deleted data (using undelete file or some data recovery software) and use against the owner's will. We highly recommend you to run this FREE utility for the hard and floppy drives you want to dispose of, recycle, re-use, sell or donate to somebody.
Active@ KillDisk conforms to US Department of Defense clearing and sanitizing standard DoD 5220.22-M. The most secure Gutmann's data destruction method is also implemented. You can be sure that once you clean up with Active@ KillDisk, sensitive information is purged out forever.
This is security software for unrecoverable data elimination for any computer capable of booting in DOS mode from floppy drive. It uses access to the drive’s data on a physical level via BIOS bypassing logical drive structure organization, thus it does not matter what operating systems and file systems located on the machine.
It can work with DOS, Windows 95 / 98, Windows NT / 2000 / XP / XP Professional x64 / XP Home x64/ 2003 Server x64, Linux, Unix for PC.
