DRIVE SELECTION
When you want to store files, your computer gives you two options;
you
can store your files on diskettes, or you can store them on the
magnetic disks built into the fixed disk drive.
Storing Files
On
Diskette
A diskette is capable of storing
360,000
characters of information (a
character is often referred
to
as a byte). Thus, a single diskette is
capable of storing more than 200 double spaced pages
of
information.
