Using Diskettes
Your PC has a 3.5-inch, high-density, 1.44 MB, flexible disk drive (A) for:
high-density (1.44 MB) diskettes have HD written in one corner
low-density (720 KB) diskettes.
If you installed a 5.25-inch, high-density, 1.2 MB flexible disk drive (B), it can use high-
density 5.25-inch diskettes. It is recommended that you do not use low-density diskettes in
the high-density drive.
To use diskettes:
1. Insert the diskette into the flexible disk drive—ensure it is the right way up (label side
up).
2. Use your application software to access the diskette. The flexible disk drive light flashes
when your PC is using the diskette.
3. When you have finished using the diskette, wait until the drive light stops flashing, then
use the button on the flexible disk drive (the lever on a 5.25-inch flexible disk drive) to
release your diskette.
Store your diskettes in a safe place. Never touch the exposed surface.
