You have just about no hope of making a VB program do that since it cannot be run in DOS.
You could always just use a batch file (autoexec.bat)... but to do it in code.. you'd have to write it in C/C++ or a language like it. And all you'd do is just make a bootable floppy, and your C++ code would make a system call to "format.com" which would format the disk.
That being said, it doesn't sound like you are asking for this for any legitimate use, so you're on your own for coming up with that code.
