Format a Diskette

The ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS program requires that a diskette be formatted for each diskette drive being tested. This utility is not the same as the operating system FORMAT command. A diskette formatted for diagnostics can be used for diagnostics only, unless it is reformatted using the operating system.

NOTE: To fully test a diskette drive, use the highest capacity media intended for each drive.
