Disks & Disk
Care
Buying a Disk:
Diskettes, CDs, DVDs, and Zip Disks
are not available in the Computer Center. You can
purchase them at the Bookstore.
The Macs in the Center can only burn DVD-R media
and will NOT work with DVD+R media.
Ejecting a Disk:
For a Mac, with your mouse, drag the disk (drive)
icon down to the task bar (see OS X section) trash
can icon on the far bottom-right.
For a PC, close all windows open on the screen
(or, anything where something on the disk is shown/open)
and then push the disk drive button on the computer
where your disk is located.
Formatting a Disk:
Most 3.5" floppy disks are already formatted when
you purchase them. Disks formatted for the Mac will
not work on a PC, however, PC disks will work on
both.
On
a PC, open "My Computer," right-click
on the disk (A:\) and select Format.
Disk Care:
Obviously, keeping your disks in a case is the best
way to insure proper care and archiving of your
work. If you must lay a CD/DVD down somewhere, make
sure the shiny-side is facing up and the title-side
down.
