Using the diskette drive
The optional diskette drive uses 3.5-inch diskettes (sometimes
called floppy disks). Diskettes are useful for storing files or
transferring files to another computer.
To load a diskette:

Insert the diskette into the diskette drive with the label
facing up.
2
To access a file on the diskette, click Start, then click
My Computer. Double-click the diskette drive (for
example, the A: drive), then double-click the file name.
3
To remove the diskette, make sure that the drive activity
light is off, then press the eject button.
Adjusting the volume
You can adjust volume using your speakers’ controls, your
keyboard controls, or the Windows volume controls. You can
also adjust the volume of specific sound devices in your
computer.
To adjust the overall volume using hardware controls:
•
If you are using external speakers, turn the knob on the
front of the speakers.
-OR-
Use the mute and volume control buttons on the
keyboard. For more information, see
