You tell us the drive is functioning well which suggests
it holds files - but not how you set it up after formatting.

Two possibilities come to mind:
a) you copied a large number of files into the root directory
and the directory is full, so DOS cannot make another entry;

b) you copied files from a Win95 system which was using
long file names and the hidden directory entry which holds
the long file name information is appearing to DOS 6.22
as a disk label - but DOS doesn't know how to modify it.

Does this remind you of anything you might have done?
They are not mutually exclusive, but I'd bet on (b) myself.
