If your computer has more than one type of diskette drive, or if
you use different types of diskettes, you need to be aware of
certain incompatibilities between the drives and diskettes. See
the following tables.

If you write to this diskette in a 1.2MB drive, you may not be able to read it
or write to it in
a
360KB drive later.
Because of possible incompatibilities, always label your
diskettes with the diskette type and density. (Usually this
information appears on the manufacturer’s label.)
Note
If you want to format a 720KB diskette in a 1.44MB drive or a
360KB diskette in a 1.2MB drive, make sure you include the
correct parameter in your format command. (In Windows
you need to select the drive capacity.) See your operating
system manual for instructions.
