Connecting the Floppy Disk Drive
Your notebook computer
comes with a USB port
1.44 MB floppy disk
drive (option). The FDD
is “hot pluggable,” so
you do not have to
power down the
notebook to connect it.
Disk Drives
Your computer comes with several components for reading and writing
(recording) information.
Floppy Disk Drive
The floppy disk drive provides a convenient way of storing and transferring
small files. The disk drive uses standard 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB disks. To use
the disk drive, insert a disk (label side up) into the drive slot and slide it all
the way in. To eject the disk from the drive, press the eject button. When
the computer is reading from or writing to a disk, the disk indicator light will
flash. Do not try to eject the disk when this light is active or you may lose
data.
Hard Disk Drive
The hard disk provides high-capacity storage and fast access. Windows
and most programs are stored here. Your notebook identifies the hard disk
drive as drive C.
