Formatting a Floppy Disk

You can format a floppy disk in the analyzer. The format is MS-DOS 1. Note that it is not necessary to format your floppy disk with the analyzer; preformatted disks can be used with the analyzer.

1.Place the 1.44-MB disk you wish to format into the floppy drive (A:\) of the analyzer. Only 1.44-MB floppy disks are supported by the analyzer. Therefore, 720-kB floppy disks will not work reliably.

2.Access the Format key by pressing File, More, and then Format. The directory information box is active (highlighted), however, only the floppy disk volume [-A-]is shown on the display.

The directory information box displays all files present on the floppy disk inserted in drive “A:”. If you have not inserted a disk into drive “A:”, or the disk you are attempting to format has no pre-existing formatting, the error message: bad, missing, or unformatted disk is displayed in the status line.

3.Press Format Now. The following message appears in the display window: WARNING: You are about to destroy ALL data on Volume A:. Press Format Now again to proceed or any other key to abort. To abort disk format, press any key but Format Now. When a disk is formatted, all data on the disk is destroyed.

4.Press Format Now a second time to format the disk. You will see the message: Formatting Disk in the display window. Pressing any other key after receiving the warning in step 3 on page 56, will abort the formatting process. See Figure 4-2. The format process takes approximately three minutes.

5.When formatting is complete, a message, Volume A: formatted appears on the status line. The disk is now ready to save files.
