2-10 Operating Your Tablet PC
Using the Floppy Disk Drive (option) Your Tablet PC comes with an USB floppy disk drive as drive A through
the USB port on the right side, or port replicator on an optional expansion
box, or through the USB port located on the plug of an optional optical
drive module, or on the included private cable.
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.
