You may format 3.5-inch disks in the internal disk drive. They must be
double-sided, high-density flexible disks that are not write-protected.
The analyzer may take a few minutes to format a disk (depending on the type of
disk) and is unavailable for other tasks during that time.
Caution You can damage both the disk and the drive if you attempt to eject a disk when
the “Format disk in progress” message is displayed or when the disk’s “busy”
light is on.
