last message disappears, the process is finished.
The disk icon appears on the desktop with its old name. If you like, you can
change the name by clicking the disk icon (to select it) and typing a new

From now on when you insert this disk into a disk drive, you will see its
icon on the desktop. This tells you that the disk is ready to use.
Ejecting a Disk from a Disk Drive
You eject a floppy disk from a disk drive when
- you're finished working with it
- you need to use a different floppy disk, and you have only one disk drive
Now you're going to eject the disk you just initialized.
1. Drag the disk icon to the Trash.
Make sure the tip of the arrow is on the Trash icon, and the Trash icon is
highlighted.
2. Release the mouse button.
The disk is ejected from the disk drive and its icon disappears from the
desktop.
Dragging a disk icon to the Trash doesn't do anything to the contents of that
disk. The contents of the disk are perfectly safe. All that happens is that
the computer ejects the disk, and its icon disappears from the desktop.
If you wanted to eject the disk but keep its icon visible, you would instead
select the disk icon and choose the Eject command from the File menu.
