Not quite accurate,
but neither is telling the user that it will show up with /
? switch applied to format command.

The truth is that /U is the new /C.
For whatever reason they decided /C was more better,
but at the same time left the /U switch working
for /C switch for those of us used to using /U.
Same, same is the result only now /U
is an undocumented switch.
Description of /C is lacking as well
but then so was /U description back when it
did show up in earlier versions of DOS.

Ok You Right We Round It Off
Just Like You Said And I Quote

You won't get any bad sector/cluster
report with format except on floppies.

Switch /U is not undocumented,
type format /?
and read about all the switches.

What /U does is ignore
the bad sector list
and attempt to format all sectors.

The reason it takes time is
because you have a bad drive.

Any other format simply adds
bad sectors found
at that time to
the existing (and growing)
bad sector list

without telling you about
any part of that.
