Andrew, a double sided high density disk is a 3.5" floppy diskette.. CDRWs
can be formatted if used with Nero's INCD function.. DiskPart and FDISK are
not used to format HDs, but the Format command is.. 'double sided' is not a
term associated with HDs..

Presuming that, from the description, to be a 1.4 MB floppy; then in My

Oh it's Andrew 'the E is for Eejit' again... I would killfile it, but then I
wouldn't be able to stop people from following it's misadvice. Mind you,
they'd have to decipher it first!
