Disk Operations

Format

Setting up commercially available floppy disks for use with PSR-540 is called format-
ting.

disk. Be careful when using this operation, since it automatically deletes all data on
the disk.

"Format OK?" and then simply follow the procedure 5 below.

Use the data dial, the [+/YES] button or the [-/NO] button.

screen.

• After formatting, the capacity
of a 2HD disk is 1 MB and
that of a 2DD disk is 720 KB.
• When the floppy disk's write-
protect tab is set to ON
(page 58) or the disk is a
purposely "copy-protected"
disk, an alert message
appears indicating that the
Format function is not
possible.
CAUTION
• If data is already saved on
the disk, be careful not to
format it. If you format the
disk, all the previously
recorded data will be
deleted.
• While formatting is in
progress, never eject the
disk or turn off the power
to the PSR-540.
• If a disk that cannot be
read by the PSR-540 is
inserted into the disk
drive, it will be treated the
same as an unformatted
floppy disk. Take care not
to erase important data by
accidentally formatting a
disk.
