You can format a 720K disk (gray disk) with the following command on
a Vectra running DOS 3.2(maybe 3.3) or later.

format b: /n:9 /t:80


n=number of sectors.
t=number of tracks.

This is documented in the MSDOS documentation under the format command.

You can also set up the system to have 720k defaults  by adding an
indskbio statement to your config.sys(look up config.sys in your documentation).
Another method is with the device driver "DRIVER.SYS".
