I do not know of a low level format utility expressly made for PB. But
having done this on old PB machines I might suggest you simply do a
fdisk /mbr before install. A lot of the old PB machines used OnTrack or
some such disk manager to partition the disks. This is incompatible
with Linux. After doing the fdisk /mbr then boot off a dos disk and
create and format the whole disk as a dos partition. You can delete
that partition in the fdisk utility when you go to install Linux. Don't
know if this will work, but I have done it on PB's in the past with
success.
