Windows 95 - Format a Disk

FORMAT A DISK	One thing Windows Explorer doesn't have a menu option for is formatting a disk. To do this you will need to go to MY COMPUTER, on your desktop. When you are in MY COMPUTER, click once on the A: Drive, then select FILE, FORMAT. Follow the steps there to format the diskette.
The difference between Quick Erase and Full Format is:	Quick Erase has already been formatted and used, and this will only erase all files on the diskette. It does not make sure it is error free. Full Format does a complete format on the diskette, erases any files, and makes sure the diskette is error-free. It does take longer to do.
Copy the System Files,	does a complete format, plus copies the system files needed to make the diskette a "bootable" diskette. This just means, you can place the disk in the A: Drive and bring up the computer from the floppy disk instead of the hard drive. Not as necessary to do anymore.
