I will try that.
I do need to format. They are taking resident photos with a digital =
camera that uses a floppy. They pop the floppy out of the camera, put =
in in the computer, run the batch file, then put the floppy back in the =
camera and they are ready to go.

I don't have a floppy drive in my computer, so I can't test this or
anything, but perhaps, one of these two options.
1. Do you need to format? If not, you could just move the files
instead of copying them.
2. If you need to format and don't want your users to be prompted with
"Do you want to format another?" try
@echo N | format a: /q
