CD-ROM/DVD
Problem: My CD-ROM/DVD Drive door won’t open.
Actions: • Turn the notebook on. While the power is ON, press the but-
ton on the drive. The drive door should open.
• If the door still will not open, you can manually eject the disk.
There is a small hole on the door of the CD-ROM/DVD drive.
Insert the end of a paper clip into the hole and push gently until
the door releases. Pull the door forward until you can retrieve
the disk. Push the door closed until it clicks into place. If this
problem recurs, contact Technical Support.
Drives
Problem: My Floppy Drive won’t save my work.
Actions: • Is the write-protect tab on the floppy disk open? The 3 1/2
inch disks used in the WinBook floppy disk drive feature a
write-protect tab that must be closed to allow you to save to
the disk. If there is a hole on the left-hand side of the disk,
pull the disk completely from the drive and turn it over. You
should find a sliding tab between the hole and the edge of the
disk. Slide the tab closed to save files on the disk.
• Have you formatted the disk? Some new disks are not
formatted for use with your notebook. If your disk is not for-
matted, or if the disk is formatted for use with another type of
computer, Windows will notify you. Format the floppy disk
by clicking on My Computer, then right-clicking on the 3 1/2
floppy icon and selecting Format.
• Is the disk already full? If you have saved files on this disk
before, you may have reached the disk’s capacity. If the disk
is full, use a different disk or remove existing files from the
disk to make room for other files that you want to save.
