Compaq 6000 Personal Computer User Manual


 
Getting Started 3–3
Using the Computer
To remove a diskette, press the Eject button 1
on the diskette drive.
Remove the diskette from the drive prior to shutting
down Microsoft Windows, so that Windows runs
when you restart.
Using the Hard Drive
You can store computer operating files,
applications, data, Internet files, and personal
files on your hard drive.
As you create and save files, download
information from the Internet, install applications,
or receive e-mail messages and attachments, your
hard drive storage space diminishes. The amount
of information you can store on your computer’s
hard drive depends on the size of the drive,
so you may want to check the available space
before installing an application or copying a
large amount of data.
CAUTION: Wait until the diskette drive
activity is complete (the activity light 2
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.
