-any good recommendation of a Soft to prevent accidentally HD formatting

[Piru]

Was it c: lock /drive /on - but then you can't write until lock off...

Lock doesn't prevent format.

WOW... Piru got something wrong... :eek:

Lock DOES prevent you from Formatting a HD, just tried it a moment ago from both the CLI & the Workbench

I'm fairly sure that this works only for quick format. Regular format (device level) will work regardless of filesystem lock. Normal format will just ACTION_INHIBIT the drive and then use CMD_FORMAT on device level. I can't see how FS lock could stop that.

Finally, whether Lock stops ACTiON_FORMAT depends on the filesystem implementation. I doubt every filesystem does this correctly.
