Hitachi SA200 Manuel D’Utilisation

Your laptop features a high-density 3.5 inch, removable floppy 
disk drive. This drive is designated drive “A” by your laptop’s 
operating system and is housed in the laptop’s peripheral bay. See 
Figure 2 on page 6. See “Exchanging the Peripheral Bay Modules” 
beginning on page 54 for detailed information on removing your 
floppy disk drive and replacing it with the 
CD-ROM module.

Your computer’s floppy disk drive accepts both 720KB double-
density (DD) floppy disks and 1.44MB high-density(HD) floppy 
disks, but 2.88MB (High Density) disks are not supported. Floppy 
disks are sometimes labeled by manufacturers as double density 
1.0MB and high density 2.0MB floppy disks. These labels, 
however, indicate the unformatted capacities of the floppy disks.

Sometimes you must format a new floppy disk before you can use 
it. To format a floppy disk using Windows 95:

Insert a new floppy disk into the floppy disk drive.

Double-click on the My Computer icon.

Click on Floppy [A:].

From the File menu, click on Format. A dialog box 
displays to enable you to select some settings. 

Click on Start to begin formatting. After this process is 
complete, the floppy disk will be ready to use.

To insert a 3.5 inch floppy disk into the floppy disk drive, follow 
these steps:

Hold the floppy disk with the drive wheel facing down 
and the metal shutter end toward the drive.

Insert the floppy disk into the drive slot and gently push 
it into the drive.
