Is there an option to format a hard drive without asking me if I want to do it or not? Like if I use this: format e: /q It'll ask me a boatload of questions; Enter the drive label. Are you sure you want to format?... For the purpose I require, I'm always sure (I want it formatted unattended using a batch file). IF this isn't an option, what other way can I do this unattended? (diskpart doesn't seem to have this option either) Thanks!

Because formatting a HDD renders existing data stored on it deleted and unreadable (except by specialist software), the format command will always ask for confirmation in case the command has been issued in error.

I know it will. I want it to, without question. Does anyone know of a utility or program that will do this?

Not always. Here's your fun fact for the day: format e: /y Blindly formats the drive w/o question. Thanks for the reply though.
