- As I said I do not use MS-DOS 5.0, but similar tools from PC Tools
- 6.0, but I think the above statement is unclear/misleading :
-
- - For a diskette there will be no mirror file to search for. After all
- /U does an unconditional complete format (erases each sector), or does
- the MS-DOS option /U work differently than the PC Tools option
- /DESTROY?
-
- - For a hard-disk I think /U is ignored.
