Formatting Disks - Yamaha Disklavier Operation Manual

Formatting Disks

The procedure below allows you to format new
unformatted floppy disks and to reformat both the
Memory Disks and formatted floppy disks. New
floppy disks must be formatted before they can be
used with the Disklavier.
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.
Floppy Disk Accidental

Floppy disks have an erasure protection tab

"unprotected".
