Windows system files, you must create one in order to use the
Emergency Disk to start your computer. Follow these substeps:
a. Insert an unlocked and unformatted floppy disk into your
floppy drive. McAfee recommends that you use a completely
new disk that you have never previously formatted to prevent
the possibility of virus infections on your Emergency Disk.
b. Verify that the Don’t format checkbox is clear.
c. Click Next> .
The Windows disk format dialog box appears ( Figure 2-18 ).
