What is a formatted floppy?

A floppy disk where everything on it has been removed / deleted, to clean it up for new stuff.

In order to format a floppy, you need to write blank tracks onto it, each containing the necessary sectors, sector headers, and inter-sector and intra-sector gaps. This is done using a special command of the floppy controller which writes a full track at a time.

You then need to write data to the floppy to provide the logical file system. In the FAT 12 file system, that consists of the boot record, the file allocation table, and the root directory.

If you intend to boot from the floppy, then you need to write the rest of the boot record, and the required operating system files, usually IBMBIO.SYS, IBMDOS.SYS, and COMMAND.COM.

If the floppy has been previously formatted, it is possible to skip the physical format part where you write the tracks - just rewrite the file allocation table and the root directory, and the system files if needed, and you will delete all of the files and directories on the floppy.

Often, however, it is better to do the complete format, particularly if you are using the floppy in a different drive.

What is the disadvantage of disk fragmentation?

A disk becomes fragmented from the moment any one file is no longer contiguous. This can happen whenever a file grows in size, but there is no space to grow into. Thus the end up being split into two parts. The disadvantage is that you cannot simply read consecutive sectors to read a file, the read head must physically move to each part of the file, which reduces performance.

Why are woods are not used as gas storage?

Woods are not used as gas storage primarily due to their porous nature and susceptibility to degradation. Unlike engineered materials designed to contain gases safely, wood can absorb moisture and expand, compromising its integrity. Additionally, the chemical composition of wood can react with certain gases, leading to safety hazards and inefficiencies. Therefore, materials like steel or specialized composites are preferred for gas storage due to their durability and reliability.
