Storage Drives
• Identifying Your
Storage Drives
• Using the Diskette Drive
On select models, Compaq
provides a back-up utility
(or system save) that allows
you to save your data and
applications to a partitioned
drive located on your hard
disk. To determine the total
hard disk size, add the size
of both the C and D
drives together.
Identifying Your Storage Drives
Your diskette drive, hard drive, and
CD, CD-RW, or DVD drive are
designated with letters of the
alphabet, as well as with icons.
To determine your drive letters,
complete the following steps:
1. From the Windows desktop,
double-click the
My Computer
g
icon.
The icons for each drive
and corresponding drive
letters are displayed in the
My Computer window.
2. Use the icons to the right to
identify your drive.
Note: The DVD, CD-RW, and SuperDisk drives are available only on
select models.
