Chapter 4 - How to Use Your Meridian 800

Floppy Disks

Floppy disks are used to:

• transfer information from one computer to another

• install software on your system’s hard drive

• make backup copies of your software and data

When you insert a floppy disk into the system’s floppy disk

drive, you can read the information stored on the disk and write

information to the disk.

Your Meridian 800 comes with a 3.5-inch 1.44MB internal

floppy drive. You can use either high-density (1.44MB storage

capacity) or double-sided/double-density (720KB storage

capacity) floppy disks in this drive.

You can tell the disks apart by looking at the edge of the disk

opposite the sliding metal panel.

• 1.44MB disks have a write-protected tab on one side and a sensing

hole on the other side

• 720KB disks have only a write-protect tab

To write-protect either kind of disk, slide the plastic write-

protect tab towards the edge, uncovering the hole.

As you push the disk into the drive you will hear a faint click as

the disk slides into place. To release the disk, push the button on

the upper right side of the disk opening.
