Using the Zip drive
Iomega Zip drives, like diskette drives, use disks to store data. Zip disks can store 100 MB,
250 MB, or 750 MB of data. You can use a Zip drive to back up files you do not use so
you can remove them from your hard drive. Zip drives also provide an easy way to transfer
files between computers (if both computers have internal Zip drives or if you have one
external, portable Zip drive).
To use a Zip disk:
1
Insert the Zip disk into the Zip drive with the label facing up.
2
To access a file on the Zip disk, click Start , then click My Computer . Double-click the
drive letter (for example, the B: drive), then double-click the file name.
3
To remove the Zip disk, press the eject button.
