Floppy Disk Drive

An optional external USB floppy disk drive is available

for your LifeBook notebook. The external floppy disk

drive can read and write information on removable

1.44MB and 720KB floppy disks.

LOADING A DISK

To load a disk into your disk drive, follow these easy

steps:

1. Orient the disk so that its label is facing upwards

and the shutter side is pointing towards the drive.

(Figure 4-4)

2. Push the disk into the drive until the Eject button

pops out and you hear a click.

EJECTING A DISK

To eject a disk from the disk drive, follow these easy

steps:

1. Check that the Floppy Disk Drive Access indicator

is inactive.

2. Press the Eject button. This will push your disk

partially out of the drive.

3. Remove the disk.

PREPARING A DISK FOR USE

Before you can use a new disk, it needs to be prepared

so your LifeBook notebook knows where to store infor-

mation. This preparation is called formatting or initial-

izing a disk. You will need to format new disks, unless

they are preformatted. (Please refer to your operating

system manual for step-by-step instructions on formatting a

disk)

To prevent accidental erasure of the data stored on a

disk, slide the “write protect” tab until a small hole is

exposed. This sets the disk into a protected state where

nothing can be added or removed. If you want to add or

remove data on a protected disk, slide the “write

protect” tab to close the small hole. (Figure 4-5)

Figure 4-5. Floppy Disk Write Protect

Eject Button

Your LifeBook notebook is preconfigured

to boot from a USB floppy drive. Refer-

ence the BIOS manual for further informa-

tion on changing the default boot drive.

The BIOS manual can be found on the

Fujitsu Computer Systems website:

http://www.us.fujitsu.com/computers.

When there is no disk in the drive, the

Eject button is flush with your notebook.

If you eject the disk while the Floppy Disk

Drive Access indicator is active, there is a

risk of damaging the data on the disk, the

disk itself or even the disk drive.

Formatting a floppy disk that already con-

tains data will erase all of the information

on the disk.
