CHAPTER 7: Using Drives and Ports
64
Using the diskette drive
The optional diskette drive uses 3.5-inch diskettes (sometimes called floppy disks). Diskettes are
useful for storing files or transferring files to another computer. (Your computer’s diskette drive
may look different.)
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 click My Computer. Double-click the
diskette drive letter (for example, the A: drive), then double-click the file name.
3 To remove the diskette, make sure that the drive activity light is off, then press the diskette
eject button.
Using the memory card reader
You can use the optional memory card reader to transfer pictures from a digital camera to your
computer. You can also use the memory card reader to transfer data between your computer
and a device that uses memory cards, such as a PDA, MP3 player, or cellular telephone. (Your
computer’s memory card reader may look different.)
