Formatting Disks

Floppy disks must first be “formatted” (initialized) before they can be used
by the AT-15 to store data. “Formatting” is the process of erasing any data
which may have been on the disk and making the format of the floppy disk
match the format of the device. The AT-15 cannot use a floppy disk that has
a format differing from its own format.

Make sure that the write protect tab of the floppy disk is in

the “Write” (permit) position.

into the disk drive until it clicks into position.

NOTE

Formatting a disk will erase
any data that may have
been stored on it. Carefully
check any previously used
disk to be sure it doesn’t
contain any valuable data.
