Floppy drive

Your computer’s 3.5-inch floppy drive can handle 720-KB and 1.44-MB capacity diskettes.

The floppy diskettes are compact, lightweight, and easy to carry around. Here are some tips on how to take care of your diskettes:

Always make backup copies of the diskettes that contain important data or program files.

Keep diskettes away from magnetic fields and sources of heat.

Avoid removing a diskette from a drive when the floppy drive activity light is on.

Write-protect your diskettes to prevent accidental erasure. To do this, slide the write-protect tab to the write-protect position.

When you put a label on a 3.5-inch diskette, make sure that the label is properly attached (flat on the surface) and within the labeling area (area with a slight surface depression) on the diskette. An improperly attached label may cause a diskette to get stuck in a drive when you are inserting or removing it.
