I use them all the time together. Back in the DOS 5 days if you didn't do a /u it would sit there and make the "unformat file" which usually took longer than the actual format of the drive. A /q/u made the quick format even quicker. I've been using that out of habit under Win9x, maybe it's no longer needed. -Brian
