Formatting with the forward slash /s just adds command.com to the empty
drive and enables it to boot independently of the floppy.

I rarely use /s, usually just plain old 'format C:'.

 i read today that if you format using format c: without the /s at the end
that it doesn't load your drivers I thought about just doing it again with
the /s on it but i wasn't sure if i could without the cd-rom could i load
win98se from the A: or no i'm going nuts
