                                   FORMAT
 
Formats a disk for use with MS-DOS.
 
The FORMAT command creates a new root directory and file allocation table for the disk. It can also check for bad areas on the disk, and it can delete all data on the disk. In order for MS-DOS to be able to use a new disk, you must first use this command to format the disk.
 
Syntax
 
  FORMAT drive: [/V[:label]] [/Q] [/U] [/F:size][/B|/S] [/C]

  FORMAT drive: [/V[:label]] [/Q] [/U] [/T:tracks /N:sectors] [/B|/S]
    [/C]
 
  FORMAT drive: [/V[:label]] [/Q] [/U] [/1] [/4] [/B|/S] [/C]

  FORMAT drive: [/Q] [/U] [/1] [/4] [/8] [/B|/S] [/C]
 
Warning:  Do not format a floppy disk at a size higher than it was designed for. For more information, see <Format--Notes>.
 
Parameter
 
drive:
    Specifies the drive containing the disk you want to format. You must specify a drive parameter. If you do not specify any of the following switches, FORMAT uses the drive type to determine the default format for the disk.
 
    If the disk was previously formatted and you do not use the /U switch, the old file allocation table and root directory are saved to allow unformatting of the disk if necessary. If you realize that you formatted the wrong disk, use the <UNFORMAT> command as soon as possible.
