Set _Script=dscript.txt
>"%_Script%" Echo.List Disk
>>"%_Script%" Echo.Select Disk 2
>>"%_Script%" Echo.Clean All
>>"%_Script%" Echo. Exit
Diskpart /s "%_Script%"
Del "%_Script%"

This will completely erase Disk 2 without confirmation, and will take some time as it writes zeros to each sector. It might be better to do this in 2 parts, to list the disks first, then ask for the disk number to erase (clean), confirm the selection with the appropriate warnings, then do the clean operation. Running this on the wrong PC could be disastrous, as the data on the disk will not be recoverable.

If there is no Disk 2, it will simply error on both the Select and Clean commands then exit.

Also, on Vista or later, the batch file will have to be run as Administrator
