Using the Computer ■ To remove a diskette, press the Eject button 1 on the diskette drive. CAUTION: Wait until the diskette drive activity is complete (the activity light 2 stops glowing) before removing a diskette. Removing a diskette, when the drive is reading from or writing to the diskette, can damage the diskette or the information stored on it. Remove the diskette from the drive prior to shutting down Microsoft Windows, so that Windows runs when you restart. Using the Hard Drive You can store computer operating files, applications, data, Internet files and personal files on your hard drive. As you create and save files, download information from the Internet, install applications, or receive e-mail messages and attachments, your hard drive storage space diminishes. The amount of information you can store on your computer's hard drive depends on the size of the drive, so you may want to check the available space before installing an application or copying a large amount of data.
