and the /s tag doesn’t work from command prompt.

DOS? Yeah it will... Just format, then (with DOS dir pathed) Go sit in the root of C: and type SYS C: (assumes full DOS, and SYS.COM is present)... It has always been stupid about SYSing from a non writeable drive... I think it assumes you are on a writeable and checks where you are, rather than the drive itself... NO, WAIT. If you have the drive hooked up USB, DOS cannot see USB without drivers (which suck,, btw)... but if the drive is on the bus the above ought to work.
