In theory, you can use the CMD command to complete all operations on the Win8 system, including formatting the disk. So what is the CMD command for the Win8 system to format the C drive? Let's take a look.

Run - CMD (enter DOS)

Input:

Key-value analysis

volume Specifies the mount point, volume name, or drive letter of the drive to be formatted. If you do not specify any of the following command line switches, format will use the volume type to determine the default format of the disk.

/fs:filesystem Specifies the file system to use, FAT, FAT32, or NTFS. A floppy disk can only use the FAT file system.

/v:label Specifies the volume label. If you omit the /v switch or use it without specifying a volume label, format will prompt for the volume label after formatting is complete. Use the syntax /v: to enter the volume label without prompting. If you format multiple disks with the format command, all disks will receive the same volume label.

/q Perform a quick format. Delete the file table and root of the previously formatted volume, but do not scan the corrupted area of ​​each sector. Formatted volumes that were not previously corrupted should be formatted with the /q switch.

/a:unitsize Specifies the cluster size (allocation unit size) to be used on FAT, FAT32, or NTFS volumes. Set unitsize with one of the following values. If unitsize is not specified, it will be selected according to the size of the volume. 512 512 bytes per cluster.

1024 1024 bytes per cluster.

2048 2048 bytes per cluster.

4096 4096 bytes per cluster.

8192 8192 bytes per cluster.

16K 16K bytes per cluster.

32K 32K bytes per cluster.

64K 64K bytes per cluster.

/c is limited to NTFS only. By default, files created on new volumes will be compressed.
