Just insert an Apple 2 formatted disk into the drive. I'd be surprised if
you had not received any floppy disks with your 2c. Generally, people just
give their software collection along with the machine. It usually consists
of a few copies of the system disk (a bootable disk with DOS 3.3 or ProDos
and utilities) and mostly pirated games :). I'm not sure about the 2c but
pressing reset button brings the machine into BASIC interpreter where you
can type in BASIC programs but you won't be able to save them because you
don't have a disk operating system loaded in memory!
Have fun with retro-computing,
