The compatibility mode doesn't work in w2k, as far as I know.

Using vmware would be one option. Are you sure there are no w2k software that could format a floppy into 1.72MB? A quick google search with "1.72mb format windows 2000" (minus the "") came up with this possibly useful link:

Although, one other page about the same program said "1.72MB format is not compatible with Windows NT" so you might be out of luck anyway. Still, the same page states that " The DMF (1.68MB) format is often used for distribution floppies under Windows 95/98 and Windows NT. "
