    • 2). Right-click the floppy drive icon and click "Format."

    • 3). Click the "Quick Format" check box if desired. If this box is left unchecked, the format operation will take longer. However, Windows scans the disk for bad sectors during a long format process, and does not do so during a quick format.

    • 4). Click the "Create an MS-DOS Startup Disk" check box.

    • 5). Click "Start," then click "OK."

    • 6). Click "OK" again when the process is complete. The Windows XP boot disk for FAT32 drives is ready to use.
