Floppy disk drive
Your system’s 3.5-inch slim-type floppy disk drive can handle 1.44- and
2.88-MB capacity diskettes.
Floppy diskettes are compact, lightweight, and easy to carry around.
Here are some tips on how to take care of your diskettes:
•
Always make backup copies of the diskettes that contain
important data or program files.
•
Keep diskettes away from magnetic fields and sources of heat.
•
Avoid removing a diskette from the floppy drive when the drive
activity indicator is on.
•
Write-protect your diskettes to prevent accidental erasure. To do
this, slide the write-protect tab to the write-protect position (1).
Sliding the write-protect tab to the not-write-protect position (2)
will allow you to store and modify data in your diskettes.
•
When you put a label on a 3.5-inch diskette, make sure that the
label is properly attached (flat on the surface) and within the
labeling area (area with a slight surface depression) on the
diskette. An improperly attached label may cause a diskette to get
stuck in the floppy drive when you are inserting or removing it.
