Amiga A4000 - Appendixc; Using Floppy Disks

AppendixC
Using Floppy Disks
Floppy disks are a type of portable magnetic recording media that is
used to:
•
transfer information from one computer to another
• install software on a system's hard drive
•
make backup copies of your software and data
When you insert a floppy disk into the system's floppy disk drive,
you
can read the information stored on the disk and write
information to the disk.
Using 3.5-lnch Floppy Disks
Your computer system comes with a 3.5-inch high capacity disk
drive installed. You can use either high-density or standard double-
density (880 KB storage capacity) floppy disks in this drive.
High-density disks have the advantage of storing more data than
double-density disks. Although you can use double-density disks in
the high capacity disk drive, high-density disks can be read only by
high capacity drives. The Amiga automatically recognizes which
type
of disk is inserted in the high capacity drive.
