SYMPTOMS
When you are creating a Startup Disk during the installation of Windows
95, Setup may be unable to format the disk you insert in the floppy disk
drive.
CAUSE
This problem can occur if you insert a 2.0- or 2.88-MB floppy disk in the
drive.
RESOLUTION
Remove the disk and insert a disk with a capacity of no more than 1.44 MB
in the drive.
MORE INFORMATION
Windows 95 does not support floppy disks with a capacity greater than 1.44
MB. Using a 2.0- or 2.88-MB floppy disk to create the Startup Disk may
generate a "Device not ready" error message.
