quick DOS command question

[lukeh182]

what does the command FORMAT D:/U do?? this would be on a HD with D being a second partition

 

[KaosDG]

/U
Specifies an unconditional format of a disk. Unconditional formatting
destroys all existing data on a disk and prevents you from later
"unformatting" the disk. You should use /U if you have received read and
write errors during use of a disk. For information about unformatting a
disk, see the UNFORMAT command.
