Boot Disk Needed

I.E. don't try to check the disk to see if it's already formatted and then do a quick format if it is (which simply erases the directory track and creates an unformat area in case you decided you made a mistake). This is a feature beginning with, I believe, DOS 6.0. I prefer to really format my disks when I issue a format statement, and not just assume all sectors on the disk are good. Another ill-conceived default feature instated by the worst company in the world.
