Follow these steps to load a diskette:
1. Make sure that the disk drive lever is in the open position.
If the lever is in the closed position, there may be a diskette
loaded in the drive. Turn the lever to the open position and
remove the diskette.
2. Insert the diskette with the label facing to the left until it is
completely inside the drive.
You can feel the diskette hit the stops.
3. Turn the lever clockwise 1/4 turn to the closed position.
If you feel any resistance when turning the lever, make sure
that the diskette is inserted completely into the drive.
You must format a diskette before you use it.
CAUTION: Formatting a disk erases all data on the diskette.
Before you format a diskette, verify that the diskette is
unformatted (has never been used) or that the information on
the diskette can be erased.

For more information about loading a diskette, refer to the
