floppy disc return factory settings
The factory settings was probably a standard format, but I assume you mean
that you want to remove the formatting you did. This shouldn't be necessary,
so you might like to explain why you want to do this.
Search the www for a floppy disk diagnostic utility and use the destructive
scan option. That will write data patterns across the whole disk, ignoring
any format information. However, it preserves the sector identifiers.
If that's not enough, get a strong magnet and wipe it back and forth across
the disk a few times. This is as close as you'll get to a clean disk.

Hi,
I formatted a floppy disc.
It was already empty.
Is there a way to unformat, return factory settings, make completely
empty?
Thanks
