Acer TravelMate 7300 manual Using Diskettes

Getting Started

Using Diskettes

Follow these guidelines when using diskettes with your computer:

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

qKeep diskettes away from magnetic fields and sources of heat.

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

qWrite-protect diskettes to prevent accidental erasure. To do this, slide the write-protect tab to the write-protect (open) position so that you can see through the tab opening.

qWhen you label a diskette, be sure the label is firmly attached and completely within the diskette’s label area (the area with the slight surface depression). An improperly attached label can cause the diskette to stick in the drive.
