Floppy
Disk Space
I know we've said
before here at WorldStart that floppy disks are going out of style. Nowadays,
everyone is using either a flash drive or a CD to save their data. Well,
that all may be true, but that doesn't mean there are still some of us
out there that love our floppies! So, today's quick tip is devoted to
all the floppy users who remain!
Have you ever wanted
to check the amount of space you have available on one of your floppy
disks? If so, it's very simple to do and you follow the same directions
as you do when you're checking the open space on any other drive on your
computer. First, make sure you have the floppy disk you want to check
in your floppy drive. From there, double click on the My Computer
icon on your desktop and highlight the A: drive, which
is the 3 1/2 Floppy Drive.
Right click that
drive and choose Properties. A window will then appear
on your screen that shows you all the information about your A: drive.
It will tell you the used space, the open space, the total capacity of
the disk and so on. It even gives you the information in a pie chart form
if that's easier for you to read. Everything you need to know about your
floppy disk is in this very box. Never wonder if you have enough room
on your floppies again!
