This guide shows how to prepare a 1.44 MB floppy disk for 720 KB formatting. MB means megabytes; KB means kilobytes.
You will need:
- A 1.44 MB floppy disk.
- Adhesive tape.
That is all you need to prepare the disk.
Find the square hole without a sliding tab. It is circled in the picture above.
Take a small piece of adhesive tape, about 3–4 cm long, and cover both sides of the hole.
The tape covers the density-detection hole so the drive treats the disk as a 720 KB disk.
The disk is now prepared for formatting.
