Objet : [disklavier] Re: 720k dos disk format
abandoning the double-density format starting with Windows XP.
There is no option in the Explorer's format window for 720k disks
and the "/F:720" option is no longer valid for the format command.
What I don't remember is if the workaround was discussed.
While the "format" command will no longer accept the "/F:720"
option, it WILL still accept the specification of a 720k diskette.
The proper command for formatting a 720k diskette in the A: drive
is:
format a: /t:80 /n:9
this specifies 80 tracks with 9 sectors per track which is the same
thing that the shorthand option "/F:720" does. In fact, before dos
4.0 came along this was the ONLY way to format a double density
diskette in a high density drive.
I hope I'm not being redundant here. I just couldn't remember if
this ever got discussed.
Happy Holidays to all,
