Using the USB floppy disk drive
The USB floppy disk drive connects to any of the computer’s USB ports.
It accommodates 1.44-megabyte or 720-kilobyte floppy disks. (You
cannot format 720-kilobyte floppy disks on Windows
® XP, but you can
use previously formated disks.)
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
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
connecting pins.
If you connect the floppy disk drive after turning on the computer, it will take
about 10 seconds for the computer to recognize the drive. Do not
disconnect and reconnect before 10 seconds have elapsed.
