To load a disk into your disk drive, follow these easy steps:

1.Orient the disk so that its label is facing upwards and the shutter side is pointing towards the drive. (Figure 4-4)

2.Push the disk into the drive until the Eject button pops out and you hear a click.

PREPARING A DISK FOR USE

Before you can use a new disk, it needs to be prepared so your notebook knows where to store information. This preparation is called formatting or initializing a disk. You will need to format new disks, unless they are preformatted. (Please refer to your operating system manual for step-by-step instructions on formatting a disk)

To prevent accidental erasure of the data stored on a disk, slide the “write protect” tab until a small hole is exposed. This sets the disk into a protected state where nothing can be added or removed. If you want to add or remove data on a protected disk, slide the “write protect” tab to close the small hole. (Figure 4-5)
