DOS is a command line operating system. You have to know the DOS commands and the syntax that goes with them and then enter it properly at a command prompt:
c:>format.com /s c:
For the uninitiated user, DOS can be quite intimidating.
Windows 3 is a GUI (graphical user interface) that doesn't use a command line or English words. Instead, icons and buttons or clicked or dragged around to accomplish a task.

:-) Ok but there's no "trying" about it, I've been using that signature for the last day or so and I've recieved more visits. I don't know whether it's because they thought it was a solution to their problem or not, but it definitely worked. And WIMP is a valid point!
