Using the Floppy Disk Drive

There are two ways to connect the floppy disk drive to your computer:

Externally, by connecting it to the computer’s FDD/Printer
connector.

Internally, by inserting it into the drive bay.

The computer comes with the DVD-ROM drive in the drive bay. If you
want to use both the DVD-ROM and the floppy disk drive at the same
time, use the floppy disk drive as an external drive.

If you connect the floppy disk drive externally while your computer is on,
use the Sony Notebook Setup utility to select Floppy Disk Drive. See
“Displaying the Sony Notebook Setup Screen” on page 63 for details.
