Format - Yamaha QY 300 Owner's Manual

Format

The format operation
erases all data from the
disk!
The disk write-protect
slide must be in the
write-enable position to
perform a format operation. If it
is not, the "Write Protected!" er-
ror message will appear when
you attempt to execute the for-
mat operation.
This operation formats new (blank) 2DD 3.5-inch floppy disks for use with the
QY300. It can also be used to format disks previously used with other equip-
ment for use with the QY300. The format operation is also a convenient way
to clear all data from a disk that contains unwanted material.
Select the Format operation, insert the disk to be formatted, and press
[ENTER]. Respond to the "Delete Old Data?" display with the [+1/YES] key
to go ahead with the operation or the [-1/NO] key to cancel.
An "Executing" bar graph will appear to indicate the progress of the for-
mat operation. "Completed" will appear briefly when the operation has fin-
ished.
