- These programs will prevent the accidental formatting of the C:
- drive while allowing full use of parameters when formating the floppy
- drives.
-
- To set up for your machine, REName your FORMAT.COM program to DONOTUSE.COM
- Next copy FORMATCL.EXE or FORMATBW.EXE to FORMAT.EXE on your DOS disk.
- FORMATCL.EXE is for color displays, FORMATBW.EXE is for monochrome displays.
-
- To use the programs, type the FORMAT commands just as with the DOS FORMAT
- command. e.g. FORMAT A:/S/V. As long as drive C: is not specified, FORMAT
- will work normally. If drive C: is specified, a tone sounds and a warning
- is displayed on the screen.
