Formatting erases everything on an entire drive or partition and creates a fresh file system, so you'll lose everything on that drive.

If you want to reinstall your OS, you should format it, although you don't necessarily always have to.

Can't you use FreeDOS if you do not install an OS?

I'm so lost on this topic at this point. Does he mean he wants to keep it as a storage drive or what? If so, then yes he could format it in DOS, but he could just as easily do it in his OS on the main drive.

Or are you trying to wipe the drive to get rid of it.

Good question, that's barely enough for an OS.

turns all of the binary code in your harddrive from data storage of 100101010010010010101010101010 to 000000000000000000000000000000000

etc dicks

That's zeroing the drive and isn't quite the same as formatting.
