Disk Management: Apple
Insert the disk you want to format in Drive 2 and press the space bar. ThinkTank will begin to format the disk.
If the disk to format is not blank, ThinkTank gives you one last chance to change your mind:
THE DISK IN DRIVE2 HOLDS SOME DATA
FORMAT THE DISK ANYWAY?
PRESS “Y” FOR YES) “N” FOR NO
The formatting process will erase any information on the disk. If you still want to format the disk, press Y (for YES) to confirm it and ThinkTank will complete the formatting operation. Otherwise press N (for No) and ThinkTank will return to the DISK MANAGER Command Menu.
When ThinkTank has finished formatting, it redisplays the DISK MANAGER Command Menu. You can repeat the process and format other disks if you wish.
By the way, if you have the Apple DOS operating system, you can also use its INIT command to format floppy disks. At the nap level, PASCAL and DOS formats are identical, but each system works with the map differently.
Copying Floppy Disks
Select COPY from the DISK MANAGER Command Menu. Think— Tank asks you to:
INSERT DISK TO BE COPIED IN DRIVE1
INSERT BLANK DISK IN DRIVE2
THEN PRESS (SPACEBAR) TO START COPYING
OR PRESS (ESC) TO CANCEL
Suppose you want to make a backup copy of the THINKTANK PROGRAM DISK. Insert it in Drive 1 and place the disk to contain the copy in Drive 2; then press the space bar. ThinkTank will begin to copy the disk in Drive 1 onto the disk in Drive
2.If the disk in Drive 2 has not been formatted, ThinkTank will format it first.
