I can't format a floppy disk

[Nocturnal]

I've tried three different disks and I can't format them. I can easily access whats on them but I cannot format them. I tried messing with the protection tab open and close and both times I cannot format it. HELP? I need to install the SATA drivers onto this disk so its very important I get this fixed.

Sometimes when I blow out the inside it works. Been a long time since I tried out a floppy. Random times I run into problems where I can't format a floppy, then next day it would. Very strange!

I've heard that XP has some strange floppy problems. Try going to the M$ site and see if they have anything in their 'knowledge' base on it...

Is it that you can't find the command/option to do it under Windows???
