Well, I don't remember the syntax for the New And Improved DOSes, but 4.x (and all later versions, for compatability's sake) allow you to format a low-density disk in a high-density drive with the following: format a: /t:80 /n:9 And that should do it. NOTE: for most floppy drives, it really does have to be a low density disk, not just a high density with the extra hole covered up.
