Using the LS-120
Diskette Drive
Some Deskpro models feature the LS-120 drive, which accepts
1.44-megabyte and 720-Kbyte diskettes, but also retrieves and
stores data on 120-megabyte diskettes. 120-megabyte diskettes
are available from your Compaq authorized dealer or reseller.
To learn more about using the LS-120 Drive with various
operating systems, please refer to the ASCII text file
located at
C:\LS120.TXT
on your computer.
Inserting and Removing Diskettes
Diskette insertion and removal is the same for the LS-120 drive
as it is for a standard 1.44-megabyte diskette drive.
Be sure to wait until the diskette drive light is off before
you remove the diskette from the diskette drive. When the
drive light is on, the drive is either reading information
from the diskette or storing information on the diskette.
Removing the diskette during either of these operations
may damage the diskette drive or cause you to lose
information.
If the diskette fails to eject automatically, or if the power to the
computer is turned off, you can remove the diskette manually by
using the emergency eject feature.
To manually eject an LS-120 diskette, complete the following
steps:
CAUTION:
Before beginning this procedure, be sure to turn off
the power to your computer
and disconnect the power cord from
the electrical outlet.
