It could be windows version of DOS is rejecting the extra syntax. You
mentioned a DOS box once or twice. The list of commands provided earlier
appear to be for standalone DOS such as MSDOS 6 or PCDOS. In Windows,
the number of DOS commands has been reduced and the number of options
per command increased. Therefore, either boot with a DOS disk to try
them or use
FORMAT /?
in the DOS box to get the correct parameters.
