I disagree. I think that is exactly what formatting means, laying out
a new file system, and erasing the contents in the process.

format d: on windows or
format d: /fs:jfs in os/2

Are the nitpickers on this thread going to change the definition of
formatting on the wikipedia, too?

Or maybe you should go back in time and change all references to
¨formatting¨ diskettes on AmigaOS, too?, and diskette boxes that
claimed "pre-formatted"
