Formatting UNIX PC Floppy Disks
Before you can use a new floppy disk with the UNIX PC,
you must format it. Formatting a floppy disk means
preparing it to accept the information you want to
store on it. Once formatted for the UNIX PC, the
floppy disk is usable for its lifetime without
reformatting. Because formatting a floppy disk erases
whatever is contained on it, be careful not to format
floppy disks that contain information you want to keep.
The following procedure shows you how to format a
floppy disk to be used with the UNIX PC. If you want
to format a floppy disk to be used on an MS-DOS system,
see "Formatting MS-DOS Floppy Disks" in this chapter.
To format a UNIX PC floppy disk:
1 Point to I FloppydiskI in the Office window.
2 Press <Enter> or <B1>.
The Floppydisk menu is displayed.
