1. Hold the floppy disk at its top edge and insert the diskette label side facing up.
2. Insert the floppy disk all the way into the drive until you hear a click.
Note: if your floppy disk did not come formatted, you must format it before storing information on it. See your
operating system documentation for information about formatting a diskette.
