Can floppy drive format floppy after change HD to NTFS

This is not true. Floppies are always formatted with a FAT filesystem.

Also, be aware that you can convert to NTFS by typing "convert c: /fs:ntfs"
at the command prompt.

I may be wrong, but don't floppies use a FAT12 format and
W95,98 used FAT16 and W98se allowed FAT32.
