How to Format a Disk
The Format operation allows you to initialize new disks for use in the logic
analyzer. The analyzer will format double-sided, double density or high
density disks in both LIF and DOS formats. The analyzer does not support
any single-sided formats.
The logic analyzer does not support track sparing during formatting. If a bad
track is found, the disk is considered bad. If a disk has been formatted
elsewhere with track sparing, it will be read successfully.
To format a disk, perform the following steps:
1
Insert the disk to format into the disk drive.
2 Select the Format Disk operation.
When the Format Disk selection is made, the analyzer reads the disk
directory and displays all files. The DISK ERROR message appears if the disk
is a new un-formatted disk. This is normal, continue the format process.
