    Question Format Disk Automated

    We have some systems on site with touchscreens and no keyboards that need to format disks when they fail.

    For this we need to automate the format process which could be done with the Format command. Is there anyway however to get feedback from the DOS program for us to know if it worked or not?

    We cant use the normal format dialog because the buttons are too small

    Anyone had this type of problem before?

    Well, if you want to do it automated then you could create a .bat file with the correct commands and then use Shell function to run that.
