Use the Format method of the Win32_Volume class. Details here.

The correct way of doing it is to use Virtual Disk Service FormatPartition method.

On Windows systems, you can do a "silent" format by using ::CreateProcess() to execute a DOS format command.

See these 2 links for details. CreateProcess() API: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/9505Yamaha_1.aspx DOS format command: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070712051040AAIny5w
