If you do not have a virus-free floppy disk formatted with DOS or
Windows system files, you must create one in order to use the
Emergency Disk to start your computer. Follow these substeps:
a. Insert an unlocked and unformatted floppy disk into your
floppy drive. McAfee recommends that you use a completely
new disk that you have never previously formatted to prevent
the possibility of virus infections on your Emergency Disk.
b. Verify that the Don't format checkbox is clear.
c. Click Next>.
The Windows disk format dialog box appears
d. Verify that the Full checkbox in the Format Type area and the
Copy system files checkbox in the Other Options area are
both selected. Next, click Start.
Windows will format your floppy disk and copy the system
files necessary to start your computer.
e. Click Close when Windows has finished formatting your disk,
then click Close again to return to the Emergency Disk panel.
3. Click Next> to continue. Setup will scan your newly formatted disk for
viruses (see
