Removing a CD-ROM
To remove a compact disc from the CD-ROM drive, follow these
steps:
1 With the power on, press the CD-ROM button on the right
side of the computer.
The CD-ROM drive slides partially open.
If the CD-ROM drive doesn't open, for example, if the battery
is drained and you can't turn the power on, you can open the
drive manually. Use a straightened paper clip or other object
to press in the eject hole just to the right of the CD-ROM eject
button.
2 Grasp the sides of the CD-ROM tray and pull the drive the
rest of the way open.
3 Remove the compact disc and place it in its protective
cover.
4 Push the CD-ROM tray in to close the drive.

How to Prepare Diskettes for Use

Formatting makes it possible to use a diskette. You don't really
need to know what's going on when you format a diskette, but if
you're interested, the details are covered in "How Does a Disk
Store Information?" on page 262.
You can buy two types of diskettes: preformatted and unformatted.
If you've purchased preformatted diskettes, you don't need the
information in this section because the diskette manufacturer has
taken care of the process for you. If the package doesn't say any-
thing about formatting, your diskettes are probably unformatted.
This section describes the simplest way to format a diskette. For
more options, and an explanation of the other items in the Format
dialog box, see Windows 95 Help or your Windows 95
documentation.
