Storage
Your computer's all-in-one design offers a variety of data storage options:
• The high capacity Enhanced-IDE hard disk drive.
The hard drive is upgradeable, enabling you to increase your storage capacity in
the future. Consult your dealer if you need to upgrade.
• The floppy disk drive.
The floppy disk drive accepts standard 1.44MB 3.5" diskettes.
• The high speed optical drive.
Depending on your model, you have a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or DVD/CD-RW
combo drive. The optical drive provides increased storage capacity, as well as
offering a host of multimedia possibilities.
See the section entitled, "A tour of your computer," for the locations of these drives.
