Help with Windows ME......

I am trying to format a slaved hard drive that I added to a machine that is running Windows ME. I go to dos (after I partitioned and rebooted) and type C:\windows> format d: /s

It tells me that the /s is no longer an option. Is this a different ver of dos? What is the format switch to use to make the partion bootable?
 
I think you need to boot from a boot disk created by ME for instance. Then perhaps try the Format d: /s switch.

:frown:

Actually, just ran the format /? command and got this.

Formats a disk for use with MS-DOS.

/V[:label] Specifies the volume label.
/Q Performs a quick format.
/F:size Specifies the size of the floppy disk to format (such
as 160, 180, 320, 360, 720, 1.2, 1.44, 2.88).
/T:tracks Specifies the number of tracks per disk side.
/N:sectors Specifies the number of sectors per track.
/1 Formats a single side of a floppy disk.
/4 Formats a 5.25-inch 360K floppy disk in a high-density drive.
/8 Formats eight sectors per track.
/C Tests clusters that are currently marked "bad."

So I guess /s has gone for good!!!

 
I just finished reformatting/clean installing bout 25 at school get an A:/ drive promt n type format x x= drive to format. And this DOES work i just did it 25 times
