Caution

Select the disk drive you want to format:

Press [Disk Utility], [default disk].

Press the softkey corresponding to the disk drive you want to format.

Press [Return], [format disk].

Select appropriate parameters for your disk drive (disk type, interleave etc.).

Press [perform format], [proceed].

You may format 3.5-inch disks in the internal disk drive. They must be double-sided, high-density flexible disks that are not write-protected.

The analyzer may take a few minutes to format a disk (depending on the type of disk) and is unavailable for other tasks during that time.

You can damage both the disk and the drive if you attempt to eject a disk when the “Format disk in progress” message is displayed or when the disk’s “busy” light is on.
