There IS a way to format 720k disks in Windows XP. While Explorer won't let you do it, 
the command line will.

Open a command window (Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt).
Type the following line:

format a: /t:80 /n:9

You will be prompted to insert a blank disk in the A: drive. Do so and then hit enter. If 
the disk you inserted is a double density disk, you should see progress messages as 
it is formatted. Wait until you get the command prompt back after which you can type 
exit to close the command window. From there XP should see the disk just fine and 
allow you to drag copy your files onto it.
