Batch file to check if HD formatted - overcoming A,R,F?

I am attempting to add a portion to a batch file which will check to see if the c drive is formatted, and if not offer the option to format it. I am using the following sequence to attempt this: dir a:\ > c:\test.bat ifexist c:\test.bat goto formatted echo Drive C: was not detected etc.
The problem I am encountering is that the batch file is interrupted with the old "Invalid media type reading Drive C: Abort, Retry, Fail" message. Is there a way to use an errorlevel to trap this, or to pipe A into the command to automatically respond?
