NAME
kfloppy - KDE Floppy Disk Utility
SYNOPSIS
kfloppy [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [device]
DESCRIPTION
Kfloppy Formatter is a utility that provides a straightforward graphical means to format 3.5" and 5.25" floppy disks.
Starting Kfloppy opens a single window by which the user may choose
appropriate settings and control the formatting process.
Caution
Make sure that your floppy disk is not mounted. Kfloppy cannot format a
mounted floppy disk.
- Kfloppy offers the following settings for floppy size:
- - 3.5" 1.44MB
- - 3.5" 720KB
- - 5.25" 1.2MB
- - 5.25" 360KB
- - Auto-Detect
- Note
The 800KB disk format used by Mac floppy drives cannot be supported on PC floppy drives since they are not capable of formatting disks in that fashion. - Kfloppy supports the file systems DOS, ext2 and Minix.
