Chapter 2,
The Grand Tour , for more information.
Connecting 3 1/2" floppy disk drive
To connect the drive, plug the floppy disk drive connector into a USB port.
Refer to the following figure.
Connecting the USB floppy disk drive
Click:
Tap the Touch pad once
Double-click: Tap the Touch pad twice
Drag and drop:
1. Hold down the left control button and move the cursor to drag the item
you want to move.
2. Lift your finger to drop the item where you want it.
Scroll:
Vertical: Move your finger up or down the right edge of the Touch pad.
Horizontal: Move your finger left or right along the bottom edge of the
Touch pad.
Make sure the connector is right side up and properly aligned with the
socket. Do not try to force the connection; doing so can damage the

about 10 seconds for the computer to recognize the drive. Do not
disconnect and reconnect before 10 seconds has elapsed.
