Windows 7 Commands dont work

[adolfo158]

Hi:

Since commands did not work when opened normally, I open the console as an administrator and I can DIR a external drive but "format" does not work. Its been years since I last used the DOS type of console. What am I missing?

any help will be much appreciated

other than format option which command did not get worked?
