Using diskettes
The diskette drive uses 3.5-inch diskettes (sometimes called floppy disks).
Diskettes are useful for storing files or transferring files to another computer.
To use a diskette:
1 Insert the diskette into the diskette drive with the label facing up.
2 To access a file on the diskette, click Start, then select My Computer, then
the drive letter (for example, the A: drive), then double-click the file.
3 To remove the diskette, make sure the drive activity indicator (see “Status
indicators” on page 19) is off, then press the diskette eject button.
Warning Do not expose diskettes to water or magnetic fields.
Exposure could damage the data on the diskette.
