Format a disk for use with Windows 2000.

FORMAT volume
FORMAT volume
FORMAT volume
FORMAT volume
FORMAT volume

volume Specifies the drive (followed by a colon), mount point,
or volume name.
/FS:filesystem Specifies the type of file system (FAT, FAT32, or NTFS).
/V:label Specifies the volume label.
/Q Performs a quick format.
/C By default, files created on the new volume will be compressed.
/X Forces the volume to dismount first if necessary. At that time,
all open handles on that volume will no longer be valid.
/A:size Overrides the default allocation unit size. It is strongly recommended
that you use the default settings under normal circumstances.
NTFS supports 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16K, 32K,
64K.
FAT supports 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16K, 32K,
64k, (128k, 256k are for sectors larger than 512 bytes).
FAT32 supports 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16k, 32k,
64k, (128k, 256k are for sectors larger than 512 bytes).

Note that the FAT and FAT32 file systems have the following limits
on the number of clusters on a volume:

FAT: number of clusters <= 65526
FAT32: 65526 < number of clusters < 268435446

If it is determined that the above requirements cannot be met
with the specified cluster size, formatting will stop immediately.

NTFS compression does not support allocation units larger than 4096.
/F:size Specifies the size of the floppy disk to format (160,
180, 320, 360, 640, 720, 1.2, 1.23, 1.44, 2.88, or 20.8).
/T:tracks Specifies the number of tracks per side on the disk.
/N:sectors Specifies the number of sectors per track.
/1 Formats a single-sided floppy disk.
/4 Formats a 5.25-inch 360K floppy in a high-density drive.
/8 Formats eight sectors per track.

Copy one or more files to another location.

COPY source
] ]

source Specifies the file to copy.
/A Indicates an ASCII text file.
/B Indicates a binary file.
destination Specifies the directory and/or file name for the new file.
/V Verifies that new files are written correctly.
/N When copying a file with a non-8dot3 name,
uses the short file name if possible.
/Y Suppresses prompting to confirm that you want to overwrite
an existing destination file.
/-Y Causes prompting to confirm that you want to overwrite
an existing destination file.
/Z Copies networked files in restartable mode.

The /Y command option can be preset in the COPYCMD environment variable.
This may be overridden by /-Y on the command line. Unless the COPY
command is executed in a batch file script, the default should be
to prompt when overwriting.

To append files, specify a single file for the destination and
multiple files for the source
(using wildcards or the file1+file2+file3 format).

Moderator, only these two? Could you also help explain the other three???? Please!!!
