I have 4.00GB in the empty disk. The other disk with
the directories also have 4.00GB. I plan to use these
two disk to install linux. Beside the linux directory,
I do not have any other files in the disk. I don't
want to lost the linux directories because I've been
downloading it for a day.
I try to formate my disk as FAT simply from the option
formate. However, once I choose FAT, the computer
promp me that "the system cannot formate your disk".
I don't know what is the problem. Is there other ways
around to formate the disk?
