I just upgraded from ME to XP (pro) and it appears that microsoft removed the 2dd diskette format option from this version of windows. Anybody able to do it or do I have to keep a version of Windows ME on my system? Thanks

My suggestion is to use Win ME to great a bootable DOS diskette and include a copy of "Format" program on that disk. Other option is to use the Disklavier to format. There are also third party format programs available on the web. There was a thread discussing that on this board a number of months ago.

I keep my old Toshiba laptop around for just this purpose. It is so ancient it only has an 85 M hardrive and runs Windows 3.1. But you need DOS for the DKV utilities and Giebler runs just fine on it. You could probably get a machine like this to accessorize your DKV for about the price of a Pianosoft disk!
