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.
To use a diskette:
1 Insert the diskette into the diskette drive with the label facing up or right,
depending on your configuration.
2 To access a file on the diskette, click Start, then click My Computer.
Double-click the 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.
