Before You Begin

The simplest way to format, list the contents of, read, copy, or eject a diskette is to use the File Manager tool. Refer to Solaris User's Guide for information about File Manager.

Formatting erases everything on a diskette. Do not format a used diskette unless you want to erase its contents.

If the server is set up without a local console, you need to set up a console on it in order to issue software commands; see:

• "About Setting Up a Console"

If the diskette is write-protected, you have to remove the write protection; see:

• "How to Allow Writing to a Diskette"
