You want to format the drive without informing the user ... erm ... sounds
nice

Hy,

call the format.com (In the System32 directory and overgive the parameters
you need).

This should work.

[Guest]

thank you,
but format.com also request to confirm the format from the user

 

[Joerg Bonsack]

Hy Pola

you must call format.com with following parameters:
format.com A: /Y

so now it works without confirm.

Joerg

thank you,
but format.com also request to

confirm the format from the user

 

[Guest]

When I try to do format with /Y parameter it
returns "invalid parameter /Y

Which Windows Version did you use?
It works under XP and 2000.

Try it in the command line.

Hi Joerg,

I need a function that runs a program directly when you receive an email,
are you supported that also.

I think it is not good to help with this kind of questions. Peter X did
pointed us on that.

Just my opinion.

help you.

Ok then please make the following steps:

1. Create a File (eg. C:\test.txt)
2. Edit the file content to Y
3. Save it
4. Call: format.com A: < C:\test.txt

this should definitivly work.
