I use a batch file which is in my scripts directory: todo.pl "echo y | format d: /v:data /q /fs:ntfs"
There is one caveat, if the drive has an existing d drive with a volume label the format command will fail. parted (booting from linux) doesn't seem to wipe out the old partion information correctly. Just something to keep in mind when reusing old hard drives.
