If you eject the disk while the Floppy
Disk Drive Access indicator is On, there is
a risk of damaging the data on the disk
or the disk drive.
Preparing a Floppy Disk for Use
Before you can use a new fl oppy disk, you need
to prepare it so your notebook knows where to
store information. This preparation is called
formatting or initializing a disk. You need to
format new 3.5" floppy disks, unless you pur-
chase preformatted disks. You will use your
notebook's operating system software to format
a floppy disk.Please refer to the operating sys-
tem manual for step-by-step instructions.
