The actual floppy drive itself is not formatted. The drive only spins the floppy disk or diskette. One can format a disk or diskette from the computer control panel. Right click on Drive A (for example), then select format and follow the screen prompts.
Most floppy disks will come pre-formatted. All floppy disks need to be formatted to be usable.

Computers made today generally do not have any floppy drives at all. PCs traditionally had 2 floppy drives (A: and B:) but might have only one of these. The original Mac had 1 floppy drive. Early microcomputers could frequently have as many as 4 floppy drives. (I had one with this capability but I never connected more than 3 floppy drives, these were 8 inch double sided double density drives).
