I'm sorry, but this just has to be said.
That subject line was just asking for a reply like that.
Very surprised that nobody else posted it!

Now, shut-up. I saw you laughing :)

In fact: The same answer was ien, and it was the first response the OP got;
I always thought that elephants have such an extremly good memory... ;-)

I have previously used the already mentioned SuperFormat with good
results. However, when I try it now under XP it fails to run. It used to
work though, probably under 2K.

That problem has been discussed in ACF. The 2005 PL description has
notes. See:
http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/2005/PL2005SYSTEMUTILITIES.php#0729-PW

"NOTES: SuperFormat runs in a DOS box. Users report that SuperFormat
does not format disks properly in Win 2000/ XP. (Previously formatted
disks can be used in these OS.)"

v 2.7 and v 2.8 are both included on the PL2005 CD. The files can also
be downloaded from the PWH site:

http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/ftp/Programs/sformat_v28.zip

I need more space...........thanx to you nd all.

You'd think a 2 foot wide disc would store more, but back in the 1950s
when they were first made they stored just 100k each.
