Formatting a Disk
Description Only 1.44M, MS-DOS compatible disks can be used in the HP 37717C.
Any other format or capacity will result in a disk access error being
displayed.
NOTE Disks can be formatted in an IBM compatible PC (1.44M, MS-DOS only)
but it is recommended that the disk is formatted in the HP 37717C as this
will ensure full compatibility with the Floppy Disk power fail recovery
included in the HP 37717C.
HOW TO: 1 Choose DISK OPERATION [DISK] [FORMAT].
2 Insert the Disk into the Disk drive.
3 Choose to Format the disk.
A warning that this operation will erase all data is displayed and asks
“do you wish to continue”.
If YES is selected, all the data on the Disk will be erased and the disk
will be formatted.
If NO is selected, the operation is aborted. This allows you to view the
data on the Disk and verify that it is no longer needed.
