Most of us donft have to deal with 3.5h floppy disks anymorec but I have
a client for whom I have to copy data to up to 500 floppies on a regular
basis. These floppies are recycled for copying new data, but I need to erase
the old data beforehand. To do that most efficiently, I use an old 5K DOS
program called gQuick Disk Reformatterh (QDR.COM).
Once I have opened a DOS window in Windows XP, I type gQDR a:h and press
Enter. The process takes about 6 to 7 seconds. After that I insert another
floppy and just hit the Enter key.
This procedure is good enough for reformatting a couple of floppies, but
I could imagine that elimination the Enter procedure would be a big help.
Is there a program that would let me achieve this task? (Insert floppy, wait
until the message gSuccessfully formatted!h appears, then insert the next
onec
If not, how would a bath file have to look like that makes QDR do it?
Any hint is appreciated since the time I have to spend on it isnft paid
or part of the job.
Thanks,
