Brug

Note

En floppy disk kan ikke blive formatteret, hvis den er monteret.

• Vælg det floppydrev, som indeholder det medie, som skal formatteres.

• Select the size of the floppy to be used. In most cases it is safe to leave this as "Auto-Detect", and should be changed only when encountering size related issues during formatting

• Select a filesystem to be used
  • If the desired filesystem is not listed, check the box at the bottom of the window, it may provide a reason
  • Not all supported filesystems are usable on floppy disks

• Select the type of format to perform
  • 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
