How to Copy Something to a Diskette
Diskettes provide an easy means of transferring files from one
computer to another. Copying a file to a diskette also gives you a
backup copy in case something happens to the original on your
hard disk. This section describes how to use the My Computer
icon to copy a file from the hard disk to a diskette.
To copy a file from the hard disk to a diskette, follow these steps:
1 Insert a formatted diskette into the diskette drive. If you’re
unsure how to format a diskette, refer to “How to Prepare
Diskettes for Use” on page 87.
2 Double-click My Computer.
Windows 95 opens the My Computer window.
3 Double-click the drive that contains the file you want to
copy.
