CAUTION You can damage both the disk and the drive if you attempt to eject a disk when
the “FORMAT DISK In Progress” message is displayed or when the disk’s “busy”
light is on.
You must format a 3.5-inch flexible disk before you can use it to store Agilent 35670A
data. Use a double-sided disk—either double-density or high-density—that is not
write-protected. The analyzer takes about two and a half minutes to format a disk and
is unavailable for other tasks during that time. For information on the formatting
parameters, use online help.
