Your computer comes with a 1.44 MB, 3.5-inch, high-density floppy drive, which
can read, write to, and format the following disks:
A high-density, 3.5-inch disk, which stores 1.44 MB (megabytes) of data.
A double-density, 3.5-inch disk, which stores 720 KB (kilobytes) of data.
To use a floppy disk in All-In-One type computer, insert it into the floppy drive

To remove a floppy disk, press the eject button on the floppy drive.
The floppy drive light on the computer is on when the computer writes to or reads
from a floppy disk. Do not remove a disk when this light is on.
To protect the data on your floppy disks, follow these guidelines:
Keep disks away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, and liquids.
Keep magnets and any device that contains a magnet (like the telephone)
away from your disks.
26 Using the Floppy Drive
The floppy drive in your notebook computer is smaller, but
more power-efficient, than a floppy drive in a desktop
computer. To get the best performance from your floppy drive
use high-quality floppy disks.
