The diskette drive
The 3 ½" diskette drive lets you use either double density (720 KB) or high
density (1.44 MB) 3 ½" diskettes for data transfer and storage.
Diskette Slot Insert diskettes into this slot.
Eject Button When a diskette is fully seated in the drive, the
eject button pops out. To remove a diskette,
push in the eject button and the diskette pops
out.
Check the disc-in-use indicator when you use the diskette drive. Do not
press the eject button or turn off the computer while the light glows.
Doing so could destroy damage the diskette or drive.
To install an optional external diskette drive, plug it into an available USB
port. Windows will automatically recognize it and make it accessible
immediately. The device bay floppy disk, which goes in the same bay as
the optical media drive, is powered by the computer and needs only be
inserted into the bay in order to work properly.
