Formatting A New Floppy Disk - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-1700 Owner's Manual

Formatting a New Floppy Disk

The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 use only 3.5" 2DD floppy disks. Before you can use a new disk for saving
data, the disk must be "formatted" as described below.

Insert a new blank disk. Make sure that the disk's write protect tab is set
to the "write" position (tab closed), and insert the new disk into the disk
drive unit with the sliding door facing the drive slot and the label side of the
disk facing upward. The disk should click securely into place.
When an unformatted disk is properly loaded, "Format?" will appear on
the LCD display panel, the ARE YOU SURE? indicator will flash and the
PSR-1700/PSR-2700 will ask "Are you sure?".
