Storage Drives
• Identifying Your
Storage Drives
• Using the Diskette Drive
On selected 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.
Note that your D:/ drive
contains important files which
allow you to recover your
system. Do not delete these. See
the Compaq Safety & Comfort
Guide for more information.
To prevent damage to the
diskette and the information
stored on it, wait until diskette
drive activity is complete
before removing the diskette.
Identifying Your Storage Drives
Your diskette drive, hard drive,
and CD, DVD, or CD-RW
drive(s) 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: Your Notebook comes with a CD, DVD, or CD-RW drive.
Using the Diskette Drive
To insert a diskette into the
diskette drive, hold the diskette
with the label facing up and the
arrow on the diskette pointing
towards the drive, and gently
push the diskette into the drive.
To remove a diskette, press the Eject button on the
diskette drive.
