I typed it wrong. What I put in the run box was this:
format a: /v:Test /q /f:1.44 /c
So I re-typed it without the space between the : and the /v
and still nothing.

OK I tried that too but I got an error message:
C:\>FORMAT a:Test /Q /F:1.44 /C
Parameter format not correct - a:Test
However using the right syntax it worked fine as follows:
Tue 07-15-2003 13:28:15.47
C:\>Format a: /V:Test /Q /F:1.44 /c
Insert new diskette for drive A:
