Dos Format
Dec-99
5K
This one scared the crap out of us! It displays a DOS window that says "Formating Hard Disk Drive" with a percent formatted countdown. Once it's done it displays realistic looking technical and error information.
Fake Format was created by popular demand, and pretends to format a specified drive. Very realistic dialogs, summaries, and even hard drive chatter.

Starts with a DOS window containing "Not ready error reading drive C? Abort, Retry, Fail?" Two futile choices result in the message "BIOS ERROR IN MODULE COMMAND.COM? Condensation in disk drive. Press any key to drain?" Do it and it types "Ahhhhh" while playing a trickling water sound through your computer's internal speaker.

Clicking on what looks like a folder launches an "Are you sure you want to remove the folder 'Windows' and move all its contents to the Recycle Bin?" window. Clicking 'yes' or 'no' results in a fake "Deleting?" window which emulates the removal of a series of files.
