7.When partitioning is complete, FDISK reboots your computer.
Drive formatting
Caution. Make sure to use the correct drive letters so ! that you do not format a drive that already contains
data.
At the A: prompt, type format x:, where x is the letter of your
new partition. If this is your boot drive, type format x: /s. Repeat the format process for all the new partitions you have created.
After you format your drive, it is ready to use.
