The only real risk is if you have more than one drive in the machine you are using it on and manage to wipe the wrong one which has all the data that you want to keep instead of the one you want to install Win on. But that is a risk with any formatter. > Think i`ll just go with it....(Days of Dos were much simpler times). You can still get bootable DOS CDs which can format the drive.
