wiping drive in DOS

[Je...@nospam.invalid]

I have a very old PC I took out of storage. It has DOS 3.3 installed and
its only other drive is the old large floppy drive.

Is there something under old DOS that can "wipe" a drive?

This PC is from before the internet and therefore has no web connection
and no way to download anything to it. I do have modern PCs but they of
course do not have these old floppy drives.

Suggestions for how to wipe the drive before junking the PC?

Thanks.

Format /u/s

Can I do that from c: if the DOS system is in C: ? In other words will
it format itself?

Yep.
The program loads, and from that moment is independant
of the os, which also btw. is residing in memory.
To be save, format/u/s a floppy, and put format.com(or exe)
on it.
Then boot from the floppy, and fomat c: /u/s

Please don't multi-post.
This question was also asked in alt.msdos, and who knows how many
other places.

Not best to cross-post. Worse to multi-post.
