Never eject a disk while reading or writing is in progress, since that can damage the magnetic surface of the disk, rendering it unusable. (The disk drive's indicator will light up at full brightness when the drive is busy reading or writing data. Ordinarily, the indicator will be less brightly lighted, or be extinguished.)

Don’t try to take the floppy disk out of the disk drive until the formatting process is finished.
