If the disk you want to format is a floppy disk, insert it into its drive. Otherwise, skip to step 2. Double-click the My Computer icon, and then click the icon for the disk you want to format. Be sure not to double-click the disk icon, because you can't format a disk if it is open in My Computer or Windows NT Explorer. On the File menu, click Format.
Notes Formatting a disk removes all information from the disk.
You cannot format a disk if there are files open on that disk. PAGE Web site created by Dave M. Schleigh.
