stacey,

1.44 drives are backward compatible so you can use 720k or 1.44M not to 
worry the difference is 720K disks just have one notch
1.44M disk have two so you can use both sides of the drive with no need 
to flip them like you do with some drives that use 5 1/4. 

So don't worry if you have a 720K drive and put a 1.44 disk it will just 
read one side etc...  On some 1.44M drives you can also read 2.88M but 
that is nothing for you to know about, but thought I would mention it.

Thanks,
