Which one can I use ?
Also my machine is not able to read 1.44. It could only read 720K.

from what i remember of the late 1990s, the 3.5 drive is not different - only the media
a 1.44 disk, formatted as 720 would work just as well.
if youhave 1.44 disks, use this command to format it as a 720k using the command line:
format X: /f:720
but before doing this, you have to mask the hole (on the other side of the write protect tab) with a scotch tape.
now your 1.44 is a 720.
but i found a better solution to your problem:

i dont know whether you have to format the usb drive or not, but either way it shoudl work.
