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 f or-
matting 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 manu-
al or online help for step-by-step instructions.
L i f e B o o k
To prevent data stored on a floppy disk from
being erased,slide the Write Protect tab on
the floppy disk to open up the small hole. This
Write
makes the disk write protected. When you want
Protected
to write data to that disk,slide the Write Protect
tab the other way to close the small hole.
C A U T I O N
Formatting a previously used floppy disk
is an effective method of clearing a disk
as long as you realize that ALL the infor-
mation on the disk will be erased.
