wasnt sure what section this should go in but.....Is there any tutorials on how to reformat from a DOS cd/FDISK?

yeah... type Fdisk c:/s

You can script Fdisk by running through it once and answering any prompts, and then creating a text file with each answer one per line. Save it and then run FDISK c:/s | file.txt

later

Or gdisk, I like it much more... One important thing I am using is detecting, if drive was formated or not by script

or free fdisk:

Search for Ranish partition manager. It's free and I use version 2.44 beta all the time. I used it to set up my FAT16 swap partition.

Ranish partiton manager allows much faster formatting than FORMAT. It doesn't allow tuning cluster size (like undocumented format /Z parameter), but anything is better than klunky fdisk interface! Also you can go back after with FORMAT /Z and change cluster sizes.

definitly try the ranish. Been using it since is started my unattended windows cd...

for the free FDISK do i just burn it to a cd?

i got here, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255867
