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

Well my mind's definitely on its way out - just tried C:\>format a: /f:720 and it's a no-go.

However, I've also tried C:\>format a: /t:80 /n:9 as suggested by Thomas and A4000_Mad - and it works a treat!  Thanks guys. :-)
