How to Reformat the Drive?

“Can you read sector 0 with a disc editor?”

I don’t really understand the above statement. Sorry!!

As far as the scans… will that work if my PC doesn’t even recognize the drive? Basically, when I plug it into my PC, I get SmartWare, but not the actual storage. It doesn’t show up and the SmartWare section tells me there’s no writable storage available.
