The Format Requester allows you to control the formatting of devices.  The
list on the left side of the requester contains the devices which you can
format.  The selected device is highlighted.  Be sure the device you intend
to format is the one that is highlighted! The other sections of the
requester are -

  Name:
    This field allows you to give the drive to be formatted a volume name.

  Fast File System:
    This allows you to format a device using the Fast File System option of
    AmigaDOS.

  International Mode:
    This allows file and directory names to include accented characters.

  Directory Caching:
    Directory caching mode will cause the directory reading speed to be
    much faster.

  Make Bootable:
    This button will 'Install' the disk with a standard AmigaDOS boot
    sector after it has been formatted, thus making a bootable disk.

  Put Trashcan:
    This button allows you to put a trashcan in the root directory of the
    newly formatted device.

  Verify:
    This button allows you to disable the format verification.  The process
    is faster with Verify turned off, but you won't be made aware of any
    errors.  It's better to leave Verify turned on, unless you completely
    trust your disks.

  Format:
    This button begins the formatting process.  Be very careful that you
    have selected the correct device.  Once a Format begins, it can be
    aborted, but data will be lost!

  Quick Format:
    When this button is selected, the disk will just be initialised.  This
    provides an extremely fast way to erase an old disk.  This will not
    work on new disks, it will only work on disks that have previously been
    formatted.

  Cancel:
    This button will abort without attempting a Format.
