Saving to Floppy Disk

Its a good idea to save to images and text documents onto floppy disks since computers tend to fail and/or crash after hours of usage; and, often as not, when you least expect it.

The following explains how to save images to floppy disks.

For demonstration purposes, I will use one of my own graphics on the Internet... the "Fairy Welcome" image.

The first thing you need to do, is have a floppy disk ready for saving to in the A:\ drive (thats the place where floppy disks go on your computer).

Step 1: The image. When you have located an image that you want to save, you right click on the image and see a menu of commands:

Select "Save Picture As."

Step 2: The next thing you will see is the "Save Picture" box, where you will locate the computer menu "Save In".

Click on the "down arrow" of the sub-directory menu, and see:

As indicated, select 3 1/2 Floppy (A:)

When you select this, the menu field will reflect this change and look like this:

Notice that whatever the image's name was upon its uploading, it will be named likewise in the "File name" field.

Step 3: Click on the "Save" button.
