Off Topic » in reply to SM, what's the differece between format c:\s and fdisk option -3

format c:\s and fdisk option -3

If I can butt in here...

fdisk is used to create partitions. I believe Option 3 deletes a partition. I can think of no real reason you should have to do this unless you are resizing the partition or changing a basic parameter.

Format /s formats the disk and makes it bootable.

Others here may have more info. I've gotten used to using Partition Magic to jiggle my partitions around instead of fdisk.
