DOS stands for freedom, openness and progress. Let us work hard, learn from the openness and GNU spirit of FreeDOS and Linux, and together build and grow a free GNU GPL world!

My computer seems to have a Trojan, and I want to format the hard drive. So under MS-DOS I entered FORMAT c:/S
but it said it was invalid. I don't know who renamed FORMAT, maybe Lenovo did it ^^55^^55^^ (I'm using a Lenovo Kaitian series machine). What should I do, experts?

Are you using DOS from within Windows? If so then it definitely won't work. The operating system is on drive C, would it let itself format itself? Wouldn't that be suicide? As Mr. nre said, using a boot disk will do it.
