using your Micro Tower case vertically).

2

To access a file on the diskette, click

, then click

My Computer

. Double-click the

drive letter (for example, the A: drive), then double-click the file name.

To remove the diskette, make sure that the drive activity light is off, then press the
diskette eject button.
