Kde floppy disk utility

Usage

kfloppy [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [device]

Overview

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.
