Note

Un floopy nu poate fi formatat dacă este montat.

Select the floppy drive which contains the media to be formatted

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
