•Identifying Your Storage Drives

•Using the Diskette Drive

On select 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 together.

Your diskette drive, hard drive, and CD, CD-RW, or DVD 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 gicon. The icons for each drive and corresponding drive letters are displayed in the My Computer window.

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