•Identifying Your Storage Drives

On selected models, Compaq provides a back-up utility (or system save) that allows you to save your data and applications to a partitioned drive located on your hard disk. To determine the total hard disk size, add the size of both the C and D drives

Your diskette drive, hard drive, and CD, DVD, or CD-RW drive are designated with letters of the alphabet, as well as with icons.

To determine your drive letters, complete the following steps:

1.From the Windows

desktop, double-click the My Computer G icon. The icons for each drive and corresponding drive letters are displayed in the My Computer window.

together.

2. Use the icons to the right to identify your drive.

Note: Your Notebook comes with either a CD, DVD, or CD-RW drive.

Using the External USB Diskette Drive

(available on select models)

An optional external USB diskette drive is available for some Notebook models. To use an external USB diskette drive:

1.Connect the diskette drive to the rear of your Notebook.

2.Once the external USB diskette drive is connected, the drive will perform as any diskette drive. Insert a diskette into the front of the external USB diskette drive to begin using this drive for external storage.
