Copying documents to a diskette
Diskettes provide an easy means of transferring files from
one computer to another. Copying a file to a diskette also
gives you a backup copy in case something happens to the
original on your hard disk. This section describes how to use
the My Computer window to copy a file from the hard disk to
a diskette.
To copy files to a diskette:
1 Connect the optional external USB diskette drive to the
computer.
2 Insert a diskette into the drive.
3 Double-click the My Computer icon.
The operating system opens the My Computer window.
4 Double-click the drive that contains the file you want to
copy.
The operating system displays the contents of the drive.
5 Double-click the folder that contains the file, then click
the file you want to copy.
