    The command "format a: /s" will format your floppy and create the basic files needed for booting the computer though if you need to use your CD ROM drive you will need the relevant drivers. You could also use the Explorer by right-clicking on the A: drive, selecting format and checking the "Create an MS-DOS startup disk" option.
