WinUAE will only format .ADF images ATM.  On a real Amiga you can use the "format disk" option from Workbench or the format command from the CLI.  Just make sure you have the disk-formatter utility in the correct location (I think it is supposed to be in L: but I could be wrong).

What is disk-formatter utility?

If you mean Format command, it's in System directory.

what format do you want?
If its Amiga, I'd suggest this to be sure that diskettes are not faulty:
1) ERASE with x-copy
2) format with D-copy using SAFE check and 1 trys. (if it gives just a single track error and there are is no visible da mage you might want a second pass)

if you want bootable disk, x-copy newer version gives you various options, and d-copy IIRC installs standard DOS bootblock. but the safest would be to use 'install' command in CLI.

all this is for OFS.
