My system is XP, and I got a Trojan horse. I want to format in DOS, but after typing format c:/s, it prompts that the command is not available. Which expert can give me some advice?

format is an external command. First, make sure your DOS can find format.com

Actually, you don't necessarily have to use FORMAT to format a disk. If you want to perform the formatting operation, a hard disk partitioning software can also achieve this function. There are many such software available by searching on the network.

The format is still very stable and reliable. LZ, what error message did you get after entering "Format c:/s"?

In DOS, you didn't find the FORMAT program, right? It's an external command, and you must be in the directory where the FORMAT program is located to use it.

There is also a possibility that your system partition fs is in NTFS format, DOS may not recognize it, and maybe you need to re - partition with fdisk.

Just install it directly. At a certain point during the installation, it will prompt you to format.

Come on, the DOS in XP is 8.0, and the Format command doesn't have the "/s" parameter. You can enter format c: /q for quick formatting. To use the "/s" parameter, you must use a DOS version below 7.1.

I remember that the Format in Dos 8.0 does not have the /s parameter. Only the Format in Dos 7.1 and below can have this parameter.

It is also possible that your system partition is in NTFS format, and then you can't use the format command.
