Using Your Computer
When you want to remove the diskette, make sure the drive light is off; then press the
eject button. When the diskette pops out, remove it.
Inserting and Removing Diskettes
To use the disk drive, open the drive bay access door and insert the diskette with the
label facing up and the metal shutter leading into the drive. Slide the diskette into the
drive until it clicks into place.
Formatting Diskettes
Before you can store data on a new diskette, you must format it using the Format
option in the "My Computer" program group in Windows 95. Formatting prepares the
diskette so that the operating system can write data on it. You need to do this only
once, before you use the diskette for the first time.
You can also reformat previously used diskettes to store new data. This process erases
all the data on the diskette, so be sure you do not want to save any of the files on a
used diskette before you reformat it. See your operating system manual for
instructions on formatting diskettes.
Never remove a diskette or reset or turn off the computer while a diskette
drive light is on. You could lose data. Also, remove all diskettes before you
turn off the computer.
