■ Data address mark

(or delete address mark)

NOTE The delete address mark

IS

written to indicate invalid

data It IS often written on
a new floppy disk as there are

no valid data on it

7) Formatting

To write the above format (ID section, data section, gap)

on an entire surface of a new floppy disk is called

formatting

Note 1 Formatting may also be called initialization. The

word "initialize" is also used as a software term to clear

the data section or to partition data area. Keep the

difference between formatting and initializing in mind.

Note

2

Unless formatting has been done on a properly

adjusted floppy disk drive unit, an erroe may occur on

another floppy disk drive unit

FD.

(1) The head is moved over the track to be written.

(2) The head is loaded

(3)

ID section IS read and repeated until the desired

section IS reached

(4)

When the desired ID section is found, data is written

on that area ( D A T A AM is also written )

(5)

The data thus written is now checked if it was

written

correctly

(read

after

write)

The

respective

ID section IS read while the media makes a full turn

(6)

The sector of the identical ID is read and verified

with the write data Because of thr pad aftei A r i ' e

capability the possibility of an error in the written

data IS

quite low

9) Data read procedure

FD.

(1) The head is moved over the track to i ead

(2) The head is loaded

(3)
