Format (to erase a hard drive)
Format is a command that prepares 
a blank diskette, hard drive, or 
another drive to hold data. If the 
disk or drive already contains 
information, all information on it 
would be erased. For example, if you 
wanted to wipe everything on your 
hard drive, typing "format C:" would 
effectively erase all data on your 
computer, including the operating 
system (e.g., Windows).
