SuperDisk 120 or Floppy
Disk Drive
Your Fujitsu LifeBook has either a SuperDisk drive,
which can use either standard floppy disks or Super
floppy disks (with a capacity of 120MB), or a 3.5"
floppy disk drive with the ability to read and write infor-
mation on removable 1.44MB and 720KB floppy disks.

LOADING A DISK

To load a disk into your disk drive, follow these easy
steps:
1. Orient the disk so that its label is facing upwards
and the shutter side is pointing towards the drive.
(Figure 4-2)
2. Push the disk into the drive until the Eject button
pops out and you hear a click.
P O I N T
When there is no disk in the drive, the Eject button is
flush with your LifeBook.

EJECTING A DISK

To eject a disk from the disk drive, follow these easy
steps:
1. Check that the Floppy Disk Drive Access indicator
is inactive.
2. Press the Eject button. This will push your disk
partially out of the drive.
3. Remove the disk.

SOFTWARE EJECT FOR LS-120 DISK

(only in models with Windows 98 Second Edition or
Windows Me)
1. Put the cursor on the LS-120 drive in My Computer.
2. Right mouse click.
3. Select Eject.
C A U T I O N
If you eject the disk while the Floppy Disk Drive Access
indicator is active, there is a risk of damaging the data
on the disk, the disk itself or even the disk drive.

PREPARING A DISK FOR USE

Before you can use a new disk, it needs to be prepared
so your LifeBook knows where to store information.
This preparation is called formatting or initializing a
disk. You will need to format new disks, unless they are
preformatted. (Please refer to your operating system
manual for step-by-step instructions on formatting a disk.)
To prevent accidental erasure of the data stored on a
disk, slide the "write protect" tab until a small hole is
exposed. This sets the disk into a protected state where
nothing can be added or removed. If you want to add or
remove data on a protected disk, slide the "write
protect" tab to close the small hole. (Figure 4-3)
