Using the Floppy Drive
The computer comes with a removable 1.44-MB, 3.5-inch, high-
density floppy drive, which can read, write to, and format the
following disks:
•
A high-density, 3.5-inch disk, which stores 1.44 MB of
data.
•
A double-density, 3.5-inch disk, which stores 720 KB of
data.
The floppy drive in your portable computer is
smaller but more power-efficient than a floppy
drive in a desktop computer. To get the best
performance from your floppy drive, handle the
drive carefully when installing or removing it and
use high-quality floppy disks.
The floppy drive fits in your computer’s SmartBay and can also
be attached by cable to a connector on the outside of the
computer. For information on installing the floppy drive, see
“Using the SmartBay” on page 27 and see “Connecting the
Floppy Drive to the Floppy Connector” on page 25.
To use a floppy disk, insert it into the floppy drive (Figure 13).
