Re: Reformat Methods Don't Work?

--many copies of .exe Files,  like "Windows Management Instrumentation" or
WMI Performance Adapter Service, buried way deep inside very unlikely
folders, several layers deep.


Which folders? WMI is a normal part of Windows.

Last but not least, this 80 meg hard drive, as it is being reformatted (and
as it's verified) says there is only one partition, with something like 76
megs.

This may be normal. Hard drive manufacturers often use 1000000 or 1024000 for mega, while the OS uses 1048576 (2^20). 80000000/1048576 = 76,293945312...

Is it possible that someone has figured out a way to make a big chunk of the
hard drive invisible to all these different reformatting methods, or am I
maybe missing something? 

It looks rather unlikely.
