I have a packet of new floppyes, but the floppyes have a RAW file system. I can't format these floppyes under Windows. How can I format these under Windows XP/98..????

You should be able to format those floppy under XP/2000/98 without problem. If Windows can format the disk, it's may habe read-only on (Windows will tell you). If Windows cannot format the disk after that, the disk is probably bad.
By the way, new floppyes are usually pre-format.
Windows can be anal about reformatting disks that have
had unusual formats. You need a third party program.

Also make sure the write lock tag is in the correct position and not locking your floppies.
