Using the Floppy Disk Drive (optional)
Your computer may come with the optional floppy disk drive as
drive A through the optional docking station.
A floppy disk drive allows you to install new programs into your
computer, or to store information on a removable floppy disk so you can
transfer information from one computer to another.
The floppy disk drive is a high-density 3.5-inch one, which can
read and write to either double-density (2DD) 720-KB floppy
disks or high-density (2HD) 1.44-MB floppy disks. Notice that
both types of floppy disk have an arrow imprinted on the front
upper left corner , and a sliding write-protect tab on the bottom
left corner, as illustrated above. When opened, the write-protect
tab prevents data from being written to, or erased from, the floppy
disk.
