2 Click Start, then click My Computer. The My Computer window opens.
3 Right-click 3½ Floppy (A:), then click Format. The Format 3½ Floppy (A:)
dialog box opens.
4 Click to select the Create an MS-DOS startup disk check box, then click Start.
A message warns you that any information on the diskette will be erased.
