MS-DOS version 5 introduced the quick format option (<code>Format /Q</code>) which removes the disk's file table without deleting any of the data. The same version also introduced the UNFORMAT command to undo the effects of a quick format, restoring the file table and making all the files accessible again. It is important to note that

UNFORMAT only works if invoked before any further changes have overwritten the drive's contents.<ref name="RUNNINGMSDOS" />
