Formatting Diskettes
Your Built-in Hard Disk System can store information on formatted
disks. Operating system and application program disks are
formatted, but they may not have enough space for other
information
If you have a multi-drive System, you may wish to store information
on "data diskettes." A data diskette
is
formatted but does not
contain an operating system. It has more storage space than
an
operating system or application program diskette.
Caution: While a diskette is being formatted, any previous
information on the diskette
is
erased.
