MSKB941961: Change in the behavior of the format command in Windows Vista.Microsoft Corporation, 23. Februar 2009, abgerufen am 24. Oktober 2012: „The format command behavior has changed in Windows Vista. By default in Windows Vista, the format command writes zeros to the whole disk when a full format is performed. In Windows XP and in earlier versions of the Windows operating system, the format command does not write zeros to the whole disk when a full format is performed.“
