you can format PC 720k disks from dos by doing:-
format a: /n:9 /t:80 /u
its a bit of a mouthful. If you want send me a mail and I'll send you a batch file to do it for you, which you just have to click.
Its best not to use 1.44 disks as 720, they have a different magnetic coating and might not be very reliable.
