format dos command

it's been a long time and i want to format my win 98 machine and my xp machine can anyone tell me the dos command for both.?

 

Format c:

If C is where your windows his.....

 

However, you cannot format an NTFS partition from DOS (if the drive with XP is formatted NTFS; most are). You'd have to boot to a Win98 or WinME boot floppy, run fdisk, erase the partition, create a new partition, and format it as FAT32. Or, just boot to your XP install CD; that will give you the option to reformat the WinXP/NTFS hard drive. The Win98 drive can be formatted as stated above.... just type format c: at a DOS prompt. Good Luck!
