Format 144 1.11
Unconditionally formats a standard 1.44MB floppy disk in drive A:. Windows XP has a problem formatting demagnetized or corrupt diskettes: its format function only checks for diskette to be readable, and does not perform actual formatting if it is not.
Format144 is a simple command-line tool that formats disktettes to the most common standard. Source code is realeased under the GNU GPL for study and improvement.
This tiny utility formats ANY 1.44 floppy even TOTALLY DAMAGED diskette
and forcefully corrects it !
