ID	Name	Description
PR014.003	Disc Media Formatting	A subject formats disc media (including CD-R, DVD and Blu-ray discs) on a target system with a file system capable of being written to by the target system.
PR014.004	Floppy Disk Formatting	A subject formats a floppy disk using a compatible disk drive connected to a target system, preparing the removable magnetic storage medium for subsequent data storage or transfer. Formatting establishes a file system, typically FAT12, enabling the target system to read and write data to the disk. Although floppy disks are largely obsolete in modern computing environments, they may remain in use within legacy systems, industrial control environments, or specialized equipment. Formatting a floppy disk may indicate preparation to transfer data between systems, including environments where modern removable storage devices are unsupported or restricted.
PR014.002	SD Card Formatting	A subject formats an SD card on a target system with a file system capable of being written to by the target system.
PR014.001	USB Mass Storage Device Formatting	A subject formats a USB mass storage device on a target system with a file system capable of being written to by the target system.
