 Of course. But rembember MicroSoft has never been straight forward with
 theri uustomers. Rembember way bac ki nthe early DOS years there was no
 warning when doing a format. I know some that accidently erases their
 Hard thinking they were going to format a Floppy becasue C: was the
 DEfault if you didn't specify a drive.
And as I said there was no message of any kind and as soon as you hit
the enter key after typing format it took off down the path of NO
return.
