Solve : RD Command Clarafication?

1.	Solve : RD Command Clarafication?
Answer» I was just wondering if I were to type "RD C:\ /S /Q" then that command would delete my hard drive without asking. Or do I need to put "." after the "C:\"?C:\WINNT\system32>help rd Removes (deletes) a directory. RMDIR [/S] [/Q] [drive:]path RD [/S] [/Q] [drive:]path /S Removes all DIRECTORIES and files in the specified directory in addition to the directory itself. Used to remove a directory tree. /Q Quiet mode, do not ask if ok to remove a directory tree with /S It SEEMS you don't need the . but I'm not sure how it would go with protected files. (And I'm not trying it) Check out 'deltree'. Thank you for your quick response, now I can go on with my "study" of DOS.Wait, one more thing. Do I need the "[]" or do I LEAVE those out when inputting the command in DOS?Leave them out.Why would the ceo of apple/mac ask this/?Everyone has to LEARN sometime... PATIO. What is the purpose of this question? When would that command be relevant over format c: /q/u
