The external USB FDD Drive is recognized as the last drive. For example,
the drive letter will be E: in case the CD-ROM drive is installed into Flex Bay.
To use the floppy drive and the CD-ROM at the same time, install the CD-ROM
drive in the Flex-Bay. Then attach one end of the USB cable to the floppy drive
compartment and the other to the external USB port on the computer. (Figure 12)
The USB Floppy Drive is an optional item in Windows 98 and WIndows 2000.

If you want to use the floppy disk drive within the computer, then detach the floppy
disk drive from the external FDD drive compartment and insert the floppy disk
drive into the Flex-Bay. See ”Using the Flex-Bay” on page 33.
The floppy drive light is on when the computer writes to or reads from a floppy
disk. Do not remove a disk when this light is on.
To protect the data on your floppy disks, follow these guidelines:
•
Keep disks away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, and liquids.
•
Keep magnets and any device that contains a magnet (like the telephone)
away from your disks.
