format a: t:80 n:9

That is wrong.

Why dont you tell us the correct command then? Your comment is not very helpful either.

Although you cannot format a 720K floppy from WinXP's desktop, I'm pretty sure I've formatted a number of floppies from WinXP's command prompt using:

C:\>format a: /f:720


I dont know the proper commando,  but i know that the 720k flag has been removed from both the format gui and the cmd prompt under winxp. I still cannot understand why the microsoft devs decided to do this. :-o
