Floppy drive

Your computer's 3.5-inch floppy drive accepts 720-KB and 1.44-MB
capacity diskettes.
The floppy diskettes are compact, lightweight, and easy to carry
around. Here are some tips on how to take care of your diskettes:
• Always make backup copies of the diskettes that contain
important data or program files.
• Keep diskettes away from magnetic fields and sources of heat.
• Avoid removing a diskette from a drive when the floppy drive
activity light is on.
• Write-protect your diskettes to prevent accidental erasure. To do
this, slide the write-protect tab to the write-protect position.

• When you put a label on a 3.5-inch diskette, make sure that the
label is properly attached (flat on the surface) and within the
labeling area (area with a slight surface depression) on the
diskette. An improperly attached label may cause a diskette to get
stuck in a drive when you are inserting or removing it.
