Disk Drives

Your computer comes with several components for reading and writing (recording) information.

The Hard Disk Drive

The hard disk provides high-capacity storage and fast access. Windows and most programs are stored

here. Your GoBook II identifies the hard disk drive as drive C. For information about removing or

installing the hard drive see Hard Drive Care and Handling.

The Floppy Disk, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM Drive

Your computer may come with a floppy disk drive. The floppy disk drive accepts 3.5-inch floppy disks

and is read and write capable.

The CD-ROM drive is a read only drive. It cannot be used to write data to a recordable compact disk.

The CD-ROM drive can read data from CDs, including audio or video CDs. The DVD drive can read

both DVD and CD disks. Your GoBook II identifies the drive with the letter following the hard drive

letter. If you hard drive is C, then the CD0-ROM drive will be D. The media bay is located on the right

side of your computer, as you are facing the display, and is accessible by sliding the two bay door

latches, which release and open the door.

Inserting a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM Disk

1. Press the button on the front of the drive to open the disk tray and pull the tray open.

2. Place the disk on the tray, label side up.

3. Place the disk on the central spindle and press gently until the disk clicks into place.

4. Slide back the tray until it clicks shut.

Removing a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM Disk

1. Make sure the computer is not accessing the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive.

2. Press the button on the front of the drive and pull the tray all the way out.

3. Pick up the CD-DVD by the edges and remove the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM from the tray. Push the

tray into the computer until it closes fully.

CAUTION

When the computer is reading from a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM or Floppy disk drive, the

indicator light for the drive will flash. Do not attempt to remove a disk while this light is active.
