The obvious-to-me approaches fail.

# format h: /fs:ntfs /q /y /V:512MB Disk
Invalid parameter - Disk

# format h: /fs:ntfs /q /y /V:"512MB Disk"
Invalid parameter - Disk"

# format h: /fs:ntfs /q /y /V:"512MB\ Disk"
Invalid parameter - Disk"

# format h: /fs:ntfs /q /y /V:512MB\ Disk
Invalid parameter - Disk

Okay, so label works after-the fact.

# label h: 512MB Disk

#

But how to do it using format? Am I missing some kind of escape sequence?
