Using the Diskette (Floppy) Drive

The diskette drive (also known as a floppy drive) uses a 3.5" diskette (or floppy disk) to store files. A diskette can hold up to 1.44 MB of data. Once information is copied onto a diskette, it remains until you delete or overwrite it.

■To insert a diskette, hold it with the label facing up and the arrow on the diskette pointing toward the drive; then gently push the diskette into the drive.
