Using the Floppy Disk Drive (optional)
Your computer may come with the optional floppy disk drive as drive A through the optional docking station.
A floppy disk drive allows you to install new programs into your computer, or to store information on a removable floppy disk so you can transfer information from one computer to another.
The floppy disk drive is a high-density 3.5-inch one, which can read and write to either double-density (2DD) 720-KB floppy disks or high-density (2HD) 1.44-MB floppy disks. Notice that both types of floppy disk have an arrow imprinted on the front upper left corner , and a sliding write-protect tab on the bottom left corner, as illustrated above. When opened, the write-protect tab prevents data from being written to, or erased from, the floppy disk.
