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 g icon. 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.
