Choose the "Create a new connection" item from the left-hand side of the window as

A new window now appears on the screen titled "New Connection Wizard" as

connection name that will be easy to recognize later.
Click Next

DISKS. Some disks have eight or nine index holes. These are known as hardsectored disks and each hole represents the start of a sector. Never try to use a hardsectored disk in a drive designed for soft-sectored disks as it will drive the machine
crazy trying to find sectors 2 through 9. Write Enable Notch On the right edge of the disk
jacket, about 1 inch from the top is a small notch in the jacket. This is the write enable
notch. In order to write on a disk, this notch must be present. If you want to protect a
disk from accidental loss of data, cover this notch with a strip of tape. Strips of tape for
write protection are usually provided in the box with the disks. Central Hub Access Hole
In the center of the disk is a big hole known as the central hub access hole. When you
insert the disk in a drive and close the door, a cone-shaped clamp centers the disk and
clamps it to the spindle motor. Due to the pressure, many clamps exert on disks, most
disks have a reinforcement ring around the edge of the disk to prevent damaging it.
