The question is a bit vague. You need to specifiy what you are trying to do and what operating system you are using. For instance, if you are at a command prompt in DOS or Windows you could type in FORMAT C: /S and the drive designated by the C: (c drive) would be formatted and bootable system files would be added (/S). Please be more specific when you re-ask your question.
