Floppy Disk Drive Installation
Formatting a Disk
The current version of Windows NT Server 4.0 is not designed to format
network-connected floppy disks. This means that you cannot format a disk
locally in the disk drive connected to your NC using the disk formatting
operations (Copy Disk, Label Disk, and Format Disk) in the File menu of the
Windows Program Manager. Local disk-formatting capability is, however, a
feature of the WinDD ICA client.
To format a disk, click the Disk button at the bottom of the WinDD login
window (Figure 5) or select Disk from the Options menu in the WinDD menu
bar (Figure 6). In either case the Disk Formatting Menu appears (Figure 7). Fill
in the volume label block and set the Capacity and Quick Format parameters as
appropriate, then press the Start button.
>>> CAUTION: The Copy Disk, Label Disk, and Format Disk selections in the
Disk menu of the Windows File Manager are for use with the application
server’s A: drive. They have no effect on a disk in your local floppy drive and
may destroy data on any disk in the servers A: drive.
