Formatting And Copying Diskettes - Brother GeoBook NB-60 Getting Started Manual

Formatting and Copying Diskettes
You can use File Manager to format diskettes; however, most diskettes come
formatted when purchased. You can also copy and rename diskettes using
File Manager. However, because File Manager makes an exact duplicate of the
source diskette, the destination diskette must be the same size as the source
diskette. Also note that, during a disk copy, File Manager writes over all files
that are on the destination diskette.
