    I have a problem with my HardDrive, its an IBM Deskstar 40 gig 7200rpm.

    Basically once it gets full to 13 gigs it wont read or write anymore and it makes a ugly noise.

    Anyway someone was telling me to do a low level format and it might fix it problem, could anyone giev me some info on this and how I could possibly do it :)

    the drive fitness test, is the one you want. ibm site forwards you to this site.
    and you will lose everything on the drive if you do a low level format.
