Working with diskettes

Diskette drives are low-speed, low-capacity storage devices that use removable storage media known as diskettes or floppy disks. Diskettes (3.5-inch or 5.25-inch) may be used to load software packages or user files onto a hard disk, to back up user files, or transfer small amounts of data from one system to another.
