Make sure that you are not trying to format them to 1.44Mb by mistake. Windows doesn't auto-detect the size so will try to format to 1.44Mb unless told otherwise. In <My Computer> highlight (but don't open) the A: drive, right-mouse click on the highlighted drive, choose <Format Floppy> from the menu that appears, then make sure you swap the 1.44Mb for 720kb and choose go...it's pitifully slow by the way.....I've used it on PC's with everything from Win3.1 through NT3.5, and 4, 95, 98 and now Win2000...
