Chapter 2
Using the Notebook
This chapter provides operating basics on the notebook's components such as the
diskette drive, hard drive, CD-ROM drive, keyboard, and TouchPad. It also
introduces power management and gives you tips in care and maintenance.
Diskette Drive
Your notebook comes with a diskette drive designated as drive A. A diskette drive
allows you to load new programs into your notebook, or to store data on a
removable diskette so you can transfer data from one notebook to another.

Figure 2-1. 3.5-inch Diskette
The diskette drive is compatible with either double-density (2DD) 720KB diskettes
or high-density (2HD) Ê 1.44MB diskettes. Notice that both types of diskettes
have an arrow imprinted on the front upper left corner, and a slidable write-protect
tab Ë on the bottom left corner, as illustrated above. When slid downward, the
write-protect tab prevents data from being written to, or erased from, the diskette.
