Formatting a diskette
It is common to purchase diskettes preformatted; however, you may
want to format a used diskette for reuse.
Formatting a diskette erases all information currently on the diskette. Do
not format a diskette unless you are sure it is blank or contains only files
you no longer need.
Before formatting a diskette:
□ Set the diskette to write-enabled. The tab at the left corner of the
diskette should cover the square hole.
□ Check that the diskette does not contain information you may need.
Insert the diskette in the drive, click Start , point to Programs , click
Windows Explorer and click the A: drive to see what the diskette
contains.
To format the diskette:
1. Double-click the My Computer icon.
2. Click A: with the secondary button, then click Format .
3. Make sure the options in the Format dialog box are set correctly,
especially the Capacity option.
You cannot format 720 KB diskettes for 1.44 MB.

Your operating system formats the diskette, displaying the Format
Results screen when it is finished.
Click Close .
Press the diskette eject button and remove the diskette from the
drive.
