Once you have logically formatted a PD cartridge, it can be used to read and write files just as you would with a
hard disk or floppy disk.
For instance, if the [Removable Disk] icon assigned to the DVD-RAM drive is recognized as D drive, insert the
PD cartridge and perform the operations from D drive.
(The actual drive fetter of the DVD-RAM drive will differ according to the environment of the system you are
using.)
