what is the procedure to formate a new disk drive?

[Confused]

Now that I'm using XP I just do it with the XP CD if it is a new install. If I add a drive I also do it with XP's disk management. If I was going to do a WIN98 PC I would boot with a WIN98 boot disk and enter the format command from the A prompt.

A: Format C:/S

Format C and lay down system files.
