--Formatting
a Diskette
- Double-click
the My Computer icon on your Desktop. Insert the diskette
you want to format. Right-click the diskette drive icon
and select Format.
- Once the
Format window opens, check the Capacity field. It
should be 1.44MB. If you have a double-density (DD)
diskette, it will only hold 720KB of information. Therefore, change the
capacity size to 720.
- In the Format
Type field, you must select the formatting option. Quick (erase) will
erase the files from a previously formatted diskette. Full format will set
up a diskette for use so that you will be able to write
data to the diskette.
- To make a
“bootable” diskette, click the Copy System
Files Only button.
- The Label
field allows you to name the diskette.
- The Display
Summary When Finished box tells you how much space is
available on the diskette.
- Once you
select the options you want, click the Start button to
begin formatting the diskette.
