It can be very difficult these days to find a DD (720K) diskette.  So 
difficult, in fact, that I don't bother doing it.  Here's a little 
trick you can use.

Pick up a 3 1/2 disk and look at it from the back side.  The back 
side has the open circle in the middle of the disk.  Orient the 
diskette so the metal sleeve that covers the disk is on the bottom.

Now, if you look at the disk in the upper left hand corner there is a 
write protect tab.  You can "open" this window in order to protect 
your disks from being written on.

If you look in the same location on the RIGHT side of the disk, there 
will be an opening that you can see through.  This opening is what 
tell the disk drive it is a HD disk.  If you take a piece of 
electrical tape (I use that because it is black, but any opaque/solid 
tape will do) and cover up this tab, it will make your computer/disk 
drive think you have a 720K diskette.

Simply re-format the disk (now a DD 720K diskette) and you should be 
ready to go.

Sorry for the long explanation, I just wanted to make sure the 
directions were easy to follow.
