The Diskette format test checks the format capability of the diskette drive and its controller. In order to run the test, you need a blank diskette that has been formatted using the MS-DOS FORMAT command and that is not write-protected. When the program prompts you to insert a diskette, insert the newly formatted one.

Once the Diskette format test is completed successfully, you must use the test diskette to run any of the tests in the following table. These tests will not run properly unless the diskette has been previously used for the Diskette format diagnostic test.
