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).
