Formatting & Titling Disks
This chapter describes how to format and title disks. New floppy disks must be formatted before you can
use them to record songs with the Disklavier. Memory Disks are pre-formatted, but you may want to re-
format them when you want to erase all data on them at once. Titling disks enables you to manage disk
contents easily.

Formatting Disks

Note: Formatting a disk erases all the data
previously stored on the disk, so always make
sure the disk you are going to format does not
contain songs you want to keep.

Note: If you are formatting a floppy disk,

want to keep.
