[dba-Tech] Formatting diskettes

I've not seen that in XP before, but when I've seen it in other versions of
windows, I've just binned the floppy.

Hi Steve

Occasionally yes, but not in general.

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?
