What to Do

1. Insert a diskette into the diskette drive.

2. From the console device, enter the fdformat command.

   Type the appropriate command, as listed for your diskette. It takes a minute or two for the system to format the diskette.

   Table 11-2  

   Diskette Density	Storage Capacity  (Formatted)	Command
   High Density (HD)	1.44 Mbytes	fdformat -U
   Medium Density (MD)	1.2 Mbytes	fdformat -mU
   Low Density (2DD)	720 Kbytes	fdformat -lU

You can now write to and read from the diskette.
