Book PC
Diskette Drive
The diskette drive, on the right side of the front panel, can read from, or write to, 3.5"
diskettes with capacities of either 720K or 1.44 MB. The diskette drive provides a
convenient way of storing and transferring small files. Your computer identifies the
diskette drive as drive A:.
To use the floppy diskette drive, insert a diskette into the drive slot, label side up. The
diskette slides all the way into the drive. You can then use your computer to read or write
data to or from drive A. Log you computer on to the A drive. To remove a diskette from
the drive, press the eject button on the front of the floppy drive module. The diskette
ejects, and you can pull it out of the drive.
When the system is reading from, or writing to, a diskette, the light underneath the
diskette drive will turn on. Do not try to eject the diskette when the light is on or you may
lose data.
If you have stored important information on a diskette, you can protect it from accidental
erasure by using the Write Protect sliding shutter on the reverse side of the diskette.
CD-ROM Drive
The Book PC is installed with either a CD-ROM or a DVD drive. This option is factory
installed. The CD-ROM/DVD drive is an internal component, and is located on the left
side on the front of the system. It cannot be used to write data to a recordable compact
disk.
The CD-ROM drive can be used to read data, or it can be used to play audio or video
CDs (e.g. movie titles which use MPEG-1 compression). Compact Disks store massive
amounts of data, and provide relatively fast access.
