Caring for Disks
Under normal conditions a diskette' s rigid plastic case will protect it
from damage. However, data stored on floppy diskettes are easily
corrupted.
•
Never touch the magnetic surface of the disk. When handling
diskettes, take care that you don' t drop them. Keep diskettes
away from liquids.
•
Never turn off, reboot, or reset the computer when a diskette is in
the drive and the drive activity light is on. Do not transport the
computer with diskettes inserted in the drive.
•
Do not expose diskettes to extreme temperatures or high
humidity.
•
Keep diskettes away from magnetic fields generated by power
supplies, monitors, magnets, etc.
•
Don' t smoke in the same room where diskettes are used or stored.
Particles from cigarette smoke are large enough to scratch the
surface of the disk. Store diskettes in a dry, dust-free
environment.
