Chapter 4: Using Drives and Ports
Using the diskette drive 
The diskette drive uses 3.5-inch diskettes (sometimes called floppy disks). Diskettes are 
useful for storing files or transferring files to another computer.
To use a diskette:
1
Insert the diskette into the diskette drive with the label facing up (or to the left, if 
using your Micro Tower case vertically).
2
To access a file on the diskette, click 
Start
, then click 
My Computer
. Double-click the 
drive letter (for example, the A: drive), then double-click the file name.
3
To remove the diskette, make sure that the drive activity light is off, then press the 
diskette eject button.
