Hey programmers,

I've a little problem and I really need help.

How can I format a partition Like E:\ for example in my VB.Net application??

It may work by using windows API functions, but I don't know them!!

and thanks for any help.

Try this

VB
Shell("format [drive:] [/q] [/fs:file-system]", vbHide)
'drive: Specifies the drive to format.
'/q Performs a quick format.
'/fs:file-system    Specifies the file system to use (FAT, FAT32, or NTFS)
