For dos browse home.att.net's disk utilities, page one. Sans dos, this (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/11/22/permanently-remove-information-from-your-usb-drive/) method may be suitable.
*Pdl note: Your loop mount is the created directory, whatever you choose to name it.

Low Level Formatting is long since dead. Don't do it to modern hard drives.
And its not possible to Low Level Format a USB Drive.
