[dba-Tech] Formatting diskettes

Steve,
I've had problems writing/formatting floppies but I only have older disks so
I put it down to that. Maybe there's more to it? I just scrapped a box of
old disks!

Dear Group,

Have any of you tried to format a 3 1/2" floppy disk lately under Windows
XP? I tried just now on four separate machines with three different
diskettes. Every machine presented the message: Windows cannot complete the
format.

Any of you seen this behavior?
