I want to get a A: drive for my Vista Computer; To format disks, shall I use FDFORMAT or is something better around?
Thank you for your help.

If you mean Format a Floppy, once you have a Floppy drive installed and appearing in My Computer, insert a Floppy Disk, right-click on the Drive Icon and select Format. You then choose the formatting file system that you want usually it is FAT @512 bytes.
