Only selected models came with a 3.5" 1.44MB Floppy Disk Drive.
A floppy disk is square and thin and hard plastic on the outside. If your pc has a floppy disk drive, it would be located below your CDROM. The drive looks like a slot with a plastic eject button next to it. You insert the disk into the drive which makes the eject button pop out towards you. When you want to eject the disk, you press the button. When the disk pops out, this makes the eject button become flat again. Floppies have a round disk inside the hard plastic case. The media on the round disk inside resembles camera film or negatives.
Floppies were used to save documents & pictures on when pc's first came out many years ago. computer software was also sold on these disks the same way that it is sold on CD/DVD's now. The floppies do not hold much information. Most software programs would take anywhere from 5 to 10 disks to hold all of the data. People installed programs by inserting the disks one by one in sequence. Each disk was labeled with a number.
Your computer does not have a "floppy disk" on it. it might have a floppy drive installed on it that can play floppy disks depending on which model of the Acer Aspire you purchased.
Hope this helps?
I doubt you have one. Computer manufacturers have not been installing floppy disks for some years now.
