    As title.
    I would like to execute dos command "format" to format some stroage with exFAT file-format.
    How do I do ?
    For example, if I formated E:\ with NTFS, I type the command-line such as "format /FS:NTFS E".

    Thanks.

    Try a colon after the volume.  In your example, try "e:".
