Preparing a Floppy Disk for Use
Before you can use a new disk, you need to pre-
pare it so your notebook knows where to store
information. This preparation is called format-
ting or initializing a disk. You need to format
new 3.5" floppy disks, unless you purchase pre-
formatted disks. You will use your notebook's
operating system software to format a floppy
disk. Please refer to the operating system
manual for step-by-step instructions.
