Floppy disk formatting in Win XP
« on: February 09, 2008, 04:13:02 PM »
How (the he||) do i format 720kb floppy disks in win xp?
I don't have the 720kb option. And googling "format 720 floppy" report it is impossible in win XP...

So the other way...
How do i do that on Amiga os 2.1 with 3.0 PC0 mountlist?
(pc0 do not show up on desktop)

Thanx piru and caius, that did the trick.

I tried the format a: /f:720
and needles to that did not work...
however /T:80 /N:9 did work nicely
