    • Quick Format is as the name implies, the fastest process. It does check for bad blocks or other errors
    • Zero out and quick format will overwrite each sector with zeroes. This should not be relied on for securely erasing a disk, only a quick method of destroying data
    • Full format will format the media, and check for bad blocks and other filesystem defects if possible
  • Check Verify Integrity if KFloppy is to check if the format was successful
  • Provide a name for the floppy, if desired
  • Click Format to format the media
