Dear Sirs:

I want to do a function, like quick format

The hdd-disk is a removable device, and i
try to use "SHFormatDrive" or DosCommand
:"W:\>format g: /Q /FS:NTFS /Vata /Y".
But they failed to format.

When running SHFormatDrive, it pops format
dialog(I don't want to have it, just want to format
in HIDE condition). And when running
DosCommand:"format:", it would show the
message:"the device is already remove Optimization
, so it doesn't support NTFS FileSystem".

I try to use the tool:"HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool"
to run format. It works successfully.

How to do when i want to do a function,
like quick-format?

WMI class Win32_Volume has Format method.
It can be called either from script (VB script, Javascript) or C++ (using
COM).
