Chapter 4: Using Drives and Ports
Using the diskette drive
The diskette drive uses 3.5-inch diskettes (sometimes called floppy disks). Diskettes are
useful for storing files or transferring files to another computer.
To use a diskette:
1 Insert the diskette into the diskette drive with the label facing up (or to the left, if
using your Micro Tower case vertically).
2 To access a file on the diskette, click Start, then click My Computer. Double-click the
drive letter (for example, the A: drive), then double-click the file name.
3 To remove the diskette, make sure that the drive activity light is off, then press the
diskette eject button.
