Storage
Your computer's all-in-one design offers a variety of data storage
options:
• The high capacity Enhanced-IDE hard disk drive.
The hard drive is upgradeable, enabling you to increase your
storage capacity in the future. Consult your dealer if you need to
upgrade.
• The floppy disk drive.
The floppy disk drive accepts a standard 1.44MB 3.5" diskette.
• The high speed optical drive.
Depending on your model, you have a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM,
DVD/CD-RW combo, or DVD-Dual drive. The optical drive provides
increased storage capacity, as well as offering a host of multimedia
possibilities.
See the section entitled “A tour of your computer” on page 3 for the
locations of these drives.
