SuperDisk
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has a SuperDisk drive,
which can use either standard floppy disks or Super
floppy disks (with a capacity of 120MB).
C A U T I O N
Your SuperDisk 120 drive does not support warm-, or
hot-swapping. You must cold-swap in order to use your

SuperDisk 120 drive.

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.
P O I N T
When there is no disk in the drive, the Eject button is
flush with your LifeBook notebook.

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.

C A U T I O N
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.

PREPARING A DISK FOR USE

Before you can use a new disk, it needs to be prepared
so your notebook knows where to store information.
This preparation is called formatting or initializing 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)
