>  Then I Tried C:\.Format  got required parameter missing.
John Stoker.

If you typed exactly what is above then you would certainly get that
message. You are at the root of C:\ in  the dos prompt but the
command needs a drive specified after it like so

C:\ format C:

Otherwise it doesn't know what drive it's supposed to format. Note
the space between the word 'format' and the drive letter after it.
