How do I insert a floppy diskette into the
computer?
Question:How do I insert a floppy diskette into the computer?
Answer:
Users who may not have grown up with floppy diskettes in their
computer or are new to computers may be confused when first looking
at a floppy diskette. Thankfully a 3.5" floppy diskette has several
features that helps identify how it should be inserted into the
computer. Below are some general identifications and rules that
almost every 3.5" floppy diskette follows. One way
Unless forced a floppy diskette can only go in one way. The
floppy diskette should slide in easy and when successfully entered
the ejection button should pop out allowing you to eject the
diskette when needed. Sticker or blank surface
Almost all floppy diskettes will have a blank surface or a
sticker that allows you to label them. That surface should always
point towards the top of the computer when the floppy diskette is
inserted. Write protection tab
The small black write protection tab that can be slid up and down
is always on the right side of the floppy when looking at it face
up. When the floppy diskette is inserted into the floppy drive it
should be on the left side. Below is an example of what a floppy looks like. This example is
of a 3.5" floppy diskette and has a clear case to help show what is
inside of the case.
