The Diskette Drive
The diskette drive uses a diskette to store files. After
information is copied onto a diskette, it remains there until you
delete or overwrite it.
1. Hold a diskette with the
label facing to the right if
you have chosen the upright
configuration. Hold a
diskette upward if you have
chosen the desktop
configuration. Ensure the
diskette is pointing toward
the drive as shown in the illustration, then gently push the
diskette into the drive.
2. To remove a diskette, press
the Eject button 2
on the diskette drive.

Caution: Wait until the
diskette-drive activity is
complete (the activity
light
1
stops glowing)
before removing a diskette.
Removing a diskette when
the drive is reading from or
writing to the diskette can
damage the diskette or the
information stored on it.
Note: Remove the diskette from the
drive before shutting down Microsoft
Windows.
