3. Name the volume.<br>  
4. Enable the desired drive options (see table).<br>  
5. Click '''Quick Format'''. Confirm the warnings by clicking '''Format''' two more times.<br>  

* If you enable '''Directory Cache''', '''International Mode''' will also be enabled and cannot be turned off. This is normal, as DirCache depends on International Mode.

=== Disk Swap ===  

Workbench will now start installing. When the installer requests additional disks:  

10. Press '''F12''', go to the '''Disk swapper''' tab and insert disks 5 and 6 instead of disks 2 and 3.<br>  
11. Click '''OK''' in WinUAE. Installation will automatically continue in Workbench.<br>

== Install Complete ==  

When the installation reaches 100%, complete the following steps.  

1. Press '''F12''' and eject all disks using the '''Disk swapper''' by clicking on the drive letters.<br>  
2. Click '''Remove all''' to remove all disks from the '''Disk Swapper'''.<br>  
3. Go to '''Floppy drives''' and disable (untick) all drives except DF0.<br>  
* The blank disk created earlier can be inserted into DF0 to avoid empty drive sound.<br>  
4. Click '''OK''' in WinUAE.<br>  

Enabling additional floppy drives (DF1, DF2, DF3) increases '''Chip RAM''' usage because AmigaOS reserves memory for drive buffers and disk management.  

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Approximate RAM Usage per Drive  
! Floppy Drive || Additional RAM Usage (Chip RAM)  
|-
| DF0 (Main Drive) || ~11KB (Required)  
|-
| DF1 Enabled || ~11KB  
|-
| DF2 Enabled || ~11KB  
|-
| DF3 Enabled || ~11KB  
|}

* '''Total impact with all four drives enabled:''' ~33KB of '''Chip RAM''' in addition to system requirements.
