3.5-inch floppy drive
Your system’s 3.5-inch floppy drive can handle 720-KB and 1.44-MB capacity diskettes.
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 the floppy drive when the drive activity indicator is on.
•Write-protect your diskettes to prevent accidental erasure. To do this, slide the write-protect tab to the write-protect position (1).
Sliding the write-protect tab to the not-write-protect position (2) will allow you to store and modify data in your diskettes.
•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 the floppy drive when you are inserting or removing it.
