External USB
Floppy Disk Drive
Your LifeBook notebook has an external USB floppy
disk drive which can read and write information on
removable 1.44MB and 720KB floppy disks.
LOADING A DISK
To load a disk into your disk drive, follow these easy
steps:
1. Orient the disk so that its label is facing upwards
and the shutter side is pointing towards the drive.
(Figure 4-2)
2. Push the disk into the drive until the Eject button
pops out and you hear a click.
EJECTING A DISK
To eject a disk from the disk drive, follow these easy
steps:
1. Check that the Floppy Disk Drive Access indicator
is inactive.
2. Press the Eject button. This will push your disk
partially out of the drive.
3. Remove the disk.
PREPARING A DISK FOR USE
Before you can use a new disk, it needs to be prepared
so your LifeBook notebook knows where to store infor-
mation. This preparation is called formatting or initial-
izing a disk. You will need to format new disks, unless
they are preformatted.
(Please refer to your operating
system manual for step-by-step instructions on formatting a
disk)
To prevent accidental erasure of the data stored on a
disk, slide the “write protect” tab until a small hole is
exposed. This sets the disk into a protected state where
nothing can be added or removed. If you want to add or
remove data on a protected disk, slide the “write
protect” tab to close the small hole.

P O I N T
Your LifeBook notebook is preconfigured to boot from a
USB floppy drive. Reference the BIOS manual for fur-
ther information on changing the default boot drive.
The BIOS manual can be found on the Fujitsu PC web
site: www.FujitsuPC.com, under Support.
P O I N T
When there is no disk in the drive, the Eject button is
flush with your notebook.
C A U T I O N
If you eject the disk while the Floppy Disk Drive Access
indicator is active, there is a risk of damaging the data
on the disk, the disk itself or even the disk drive.
C A U T I O N
Formatting a floppy disk that already contains data will
erase all of the information on the disk.
