Format Your Hard Disk Using Just Notepad !!

Ever wondered of a way to format your hard disk using just notepad ?
I bet you haven’t even thought about it or if you have had then you would still have preferred using reliable software’s available to do the job.

In this post i am going to share a simple way to format your C drive (Yep, only C drive) using just notepad. This is just a nice little nifty trick, which i am sharing with you. Make sure you don’t actually use it on your business computer. Try to make this trick work in a VMWare Machine in your free time.

Moving on, in order to completely format your C: Drive (Primary disk) follow the steps given below :-

Open notepad.
Type the following the code in it (Or just copy paste it).

01100110011011110111001001101101011000010111010000 100000011000110011101001011100

0010000000101111010100010010111101011000

Save it as an .exe file giving any name you desire.

Thats It ! Now just double click on the file (to open it) and your C: drive will be formatted !

This is just a little binary fun. Be Careful while using it.

UPDATE : No, you can’t run it from C: drive itself (not from the drive in which OS is installed & running).

You aren’t completly correct. You can install 2 OS (Operating Systems) on the same harddrive. what I suggest is installing the OS in a oldest to newest order. So you put in your Win Xp instalation disk, when it asks you for a partition, devide the hard drive in 2 (which ever sizes you want to allocate for each OS [Example: HDD is 70Gigs, when asked for the windows XP partition size type in 35840 {1 Gig is 1024 bites}]) once that instalation is completed move on to the next OS. In your case you are installing Windows 7 so there will be a pretty nifty UI (User Interface) to aid you through your process. Then you should install Windows 7 on the 2nd partition (empty one) once instalation is complete reboot. You will have a promp for which OS to boot into, must make a decision within 45 seconds or it automatically boots you into windows XP. Also, you will require hardware drivers to be installed on both OSs.

Thank you

You can dual boot 2 OS’s but not from same drive, instead 2 seperate drive’s are required. All you need to do is First install Windows 7 and then install Windows XP (on some other drive). Once you do so, you’ll get the option to choose the Operating System.

@Vaibhav Kanwal 2 things :
1. I tried it in a virtual environment and running it crashed the entire thing (Not the original OS).
2. No, you can’t run it from C: drive itself (not from the drive in which OS is installed & running). I have mentioned the same in post.

One Question

does this work from C: drive? I mean if I am running on OS on C: and I save this on the same drive and execute it. What will happen?
Will the computer like self destruct? huh?
