Using the diskette drive
The optional diskette drive (not available on all systems) uses
3.5-inch diskettes (sometimes called

computer. (Your computer’s diskette drive may look different.)
To load a diskette:
1
Insert the diskette into the diskette drive with the label
facing up.
2
To access a file on the diskette, click
(
Start
), then
click
Computer
. Double-click the diskette drive letter
(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.

You can adjust volume using your speakers’ controls or the
Windows volume controls. You can also adjust the volume of
specific sound devices in your computer.
