Using Disks
Start by
getting
the two microdisks
,
the Workbench disk
and
the
Extras disk
that
came
with
your Amiga.
These disks
contain
important information used by the
Amiga.
In
addition,
have two blank microdisks ready.
(You can get
blank
microdisks
from your Amiga
dealer.) You
'
ll
copy
the information
from
the
original
disks
onto
these blank disks and keep the
originals
in
a safe
place.
You must use high-quality double-sided double-density diskettes
,
typically
iden-
tified with a "2DD"
marking
on
the packaging.
To ensure
the data
stored on your
microdisk remains
safe, observe
the
following
precautions:
•
Store your
disks in
a
clean
,
dust-free
container.
•
Do not place disks
on
top
of your
monitor, power
supply,
telephone,
or any other
device
with strong
magnetic fields present.
•
Insert the disk
straight
into the disk drive
opening,
not
at an angle; do
not try to force it in.
More information
on
the
care of your
disks
can
be found in
Chapter 9.
Your original Amiga
disks
may have
write-protect tabs. These are small
plastic
tabs
on
the
backs
of
the disks
.
If
you find
protect tabs
on
the
original
disks,
slide
each tab toward the edge of
the disk until it clicks into place
.
When
you do,
you'll
be
able
to
see
through
a small
hole in
each
disk:
