I remember from the stone age (end 1980's begin 90's) that you could
low-level format a disk with the DOS command debug by calling some BIOS
routine by assembler routines.

Modern harddisks don't allow that anymore. Should I assume that
"low-level format" in this case means something like

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX
