Disk Drives
Your Duo-Touch comes with several components for reading and writing (recording) information.
The Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
The hard disk drive provides high-capacity storage and fast access. The operating system and most
programs are stored here. Your Duo-Touch identifies the hard disk drive as drive C:. Your hard disk
drive may include an optional hard drive heater to allow operation in certain environments.
Card Slots
You can also use the PC Card Slot and CompactFlash Card Slot for additional data storage.
Optional External Drives
The Duo-Touch has three USB external drive options. You do not have to power down the Tablet PC
to connect any of these drives because they are "hot pluggable".
USB Floppy Disk Drive (FDD): The floppy disk drive provides a convenient way of storing
and transferring small files. It uses standard 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB disks.
USB CD-ROM Drive: The CD-ROM drive can be used to read data from CDs, including
audio or video CDs.
USB DVD / CD-RW: The DVD / CD-RW drive is a read/write drive. It can be used to write
data to a recordable CD. It can also read data from DVDs and CDs, including audio or video
disks.
NOTE The Duo-Touch identifies the drive with the letter following the highest partition letter. For
example, if your highest drive partition is drive E:, the DVD/CD-RW or CD-ROM will be assigned to
drive F:. However, the floppy drive will always get assigned to drive A: or B:.
