Good point. > Can you format a floppy as FAT32? According to <http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=253774>, no: Floppy disks are formatted as FAT12, even if you have formatted your hard disk to FAT32. The utility, Format.com is prohibited from making a FAT32 file system on a floppy disk. It should be possible to create a small partition for testing, but it's probably much easier to do in VMware...
