NOTE:
If the floppy disk is new,
you will need to format it to be
compatible with the W5/W7
operating system. If a disk is
already too full to receive more
data, you may want to delete some
or all files on the disk to make
space. These and other file
management operations can be done
within Disk Mode. For more
information, see page 131.
