Formatting a Floppy Disk with the Command Line

Yes, some people are still using floppy drives and sometimes you want to format a bunch of disks without too much interaction.  Here is the command line to format a number of disks and only having to press the'Y' and Enter:

format a: /q /v:label

The /q switch tells Windows to do a quick format and the /v:label is the floppy disk label.  If you don't include this switch you will be prompted to enter a label slowing the process down slightly.
