in that i mean when you set up a new drive from the computer management snapin in the admin panel, what command does it use?

format x: or format x: /u
 
If you want to know from what I have seen it is not using the /u because I have been able to recover files after a format and a reinstall within windows with NTFS file recovery software.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
