Formatting Disks

With DiskDupe, you can either format a disk as it is being duplicated or separately. When you copy disks with Duplicate, DiskDupe will detect whether a disk has been formatted and, if necessary, format it while copying. Use Format as a separate feature whenever you want to preformat disks ahead of time for later use with DiskDupe such as making master disks or for general Dos use.

To format a disk separately:

Set Source to Format.

Set destination to the drive you will use to format the disk and press Ok. This can be one drive or a number of drives using Cascade.

Go to the Format and Verify settings. Set the Format and Verify to the appropriate settings.

Set the number of Copies, or set it to 0 for continuous copying, and select Duplicate. When you are ready to format, press Go.
