Writing Designs to Floppy

Writing Designs to Floppy Disks with Embird:

Embird supports standard and non-standard floppy disk formats. 

Standard
floppy disks are disks with designs stored in standard MS-DOS format. These disks are recognized and can be accessed in Windows Explorer, common file manager or any other application supporting floppy disks. In Embird you can access standard floppy disk by choosing the disk drive (typically "A:") in "Drive:" box in Right Panel of Manager window.

Non-standard floppy disks are disks with designs stored in special format. These disks are not recognized and cannot be accessed in Windows Explorer or in common file manager - these applications report "Disk is not formatted" error when you attempt to read floppy disk contents. In Embird you can access non-standard floppy disks via Left Panel menu of Manager window. However, the non-standard floppy disk formats require low-level access and therefore the non-standard floppy disks are supported only when running Embird in Windows 98 or Windows ME. Embird does not support non-standard floppy disks when running in Windows NT, 2000 or XP.

Writing Designs to Standard Floppy Disks (MS-DOS Format)


1 - Run Embird, it will start in "Manager" mode.
2 - Insert the floppy disk into the disk drive. Make sure, that the disk is not write-protected.
3 - In the "Files:" box at the right side of the screen select the design which you want to write to the floppy disk. To select a design, please move the mouse pointer to its file name and click the left mouse button (Picture No. 1).

Note: You can select multiple files and write them all to the floppy disk at once. Please move mouse pointer to the file name of the first design in the "Files:" box at the right side of the screen, depress the left mouse button and hold it down while moving the mouse pointer over the file names of the other designs. When the mouse pointer is over the last design, please release the left mouse button.
