Hello! I have noticed that when I just delete through Toatl Comander some data on my diskettes, when something new I save on them, very often I can not open. I have heard that I should format them, because when they are formatted, I should not have any problem. I want to know is this true, and if it is, hoe to do that?

Oh, that is true, cross my heart! To format some diskette, you should first boot it in floppy drive. After that go to my computer and right click on 3.5 Floppy (ASmile. Then select option format. Dialog box will appear and you can choose quick format. After formatting, all data will be completely erased from your diskette and you wont have any troubles any more.
