The format command on its own - erases the reference track of the disc - removing the title(s) of any files and marking any used sectors as usable again. Adding the /s tag to the format command has the additional function of copying two (normally hidden) files - Autoexec.bat & Config.sys to the disc once the format command has been executed. This tells the computer that the disc can be used to boot-up the system when it's switched on.
