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 diskette drive status indicator
is off (see “Status indicators” on page 24), then press the diskette eject
button.
Warning Do not expose diskettes to water or magnetic fields.
