Formatting Diskettes

Before you can store data on a new diskette, you must format it
using the FORMAT command. Formatting prepares the
diskette so that MS-DOS can write data on it. You need to do
this only once, before you use the diskette for the first time.
You can also reformat previously used diskettes to store new

you format it. See your MS-DOS Reference Manual for
instructions on using the FORMAT command.
