Formatting a 5.25-inch, 360K DSDD disk as
a 1.2M HD disk will result in what problem,
if any?
1.
2.
3.
4.
The disk will not format because the
DOS format program will check the
media indicator on the disk and not
permit the operation
The disk will appear to format correctly,
but will be unreliable because of the
increased write current required for high
density disks
The disk will appear to format correctly,
but will be unreliable because of the
decreased write current required for high
density disks
None; no problem will be encountered
