[comp.windows.ms.programmer] Formatting Floppy Disks

bylander@math.utexas.edu (Mark Joseph Bylander) (04/10/91)

I am trying to write a small program that will format floppies in
the background in MS-WIN3.0.  I have tried just calling the bios
directly, but windows really doesn't like this and terminates the
application.  My question is: How can I format a disk under windows?
Does windows have any undocumented functions which will do this
already?

Many thanks in advance.
