The OS permits you to format (initialize) only a floppy disk with 1.44-megabytes of capacity. Because of this restriction, when a 2DD (720 KB) disk is in the FDD, the Capacity section in the Format menu remains blank. http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q302/1/13.ASP
However, it is possible to perform disk formatting on the USB-compliant FDD by specifying the following options at the command level prompt.
