Using￿the￿Floppy￿Drive

The￿computer￿comes￿with￿a￿removable￿1.44-MB,￿3.5-inch,￿high- density￿floppy￿drive,￿which￿can￿read,￿write￿to,￿and￿format￿the￿following￿ disks:

￿A￿high-density,￿3.5-inch￿disk,￿which￿stores￿1.44￿MB￿of￿data.￿A￿double-density,￿3.5-inch￿disk,￿which￿stores￿720￿KB￿of￿data.

The￿floppy￿drive￿in￿your￿portable￿computer￿is￿ smaller￿but￿more￿power-efficient￿than￿a￿floppy￿drive￿in￿a￿desktop￿computer.￿To￿get￿the￿best￿ performance￿from￿your￿floppy￿drive,￿handle￿the￿ drive￿carefully￿when￿installing￿or￿removing￿it￿and￿ use￿high-quality￿floppy￿disks.

The￿floppy￿drive￿fits￿in￿your￿computer’s￿SmartBay￿and￿can￿also￿be￿ attached￿by￿cable￿to￿a￿connector￿on￿the￿outside￿of￿the￿computer.￿For￿ information￿on￿installing￿the￿floppy￿drive,￿see￿“Using￿the￿SmartBay”￿ on￿page￿26￿and￿see￿“Connecting￿the￿Floppy￿Drive￿to￿the￿Floppy￿ Connector”￿on￿page￿24.
