To insert a diskette into a 5.25-inch drive, hold the diskette with the label facing up and the read/ write slot leading into the drive. When the diskette is completely in the drive, turn down the latch to secure the diskette in the drive.

When you want to remove the diskette, make sure the drive light is off; then press the release button or turn the latch. Remove the diskette and store it properly.

Caution

Never remove a diskette, reset the computer, or turn it off while a diskette drive light is on. You could lose data. Also, remove all diskettes before you turn off the computer.

Sopping a Command or Program

You may sometimes need to stop a command or program while it is running. If you have entered a DOS or application program command that you want to stop, try one of the following:

0 Press Pause

0 Press Ctrl C

0 Press Ctrl Break.

If these methods do not work, you may need to reset the computer as described below. Do not turn off the computer to exit a program or stop a command unless you have to, because the computer erases any data you did not save.
