Caring for Diskettes
Under normal conditions a diskette’s rigid plastic case will protect it from damage. However,
data stored on floppy diskettes are easily corrupted. Follow the protective measures listed below
to preserve the integrity of data stored on floppy diskettes.
Never touch the magnetic surface of the disk.
When handling diskettes, take care that you don’t drop them.
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.
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.
