How to Care for Floppy Disks
• Handle disks carefully.
• Don’t remove a disk from a drive while the drive is in use.
• Don’t touch or scratch any exposed portion of the disk’s shiny surface, or allow
dust or moisture to collect on the disk.
• Store disks at a temperature range between 10°C (50°F) and 49°C (120°F).
• Keep disks away from magnetic fields.
• Format a new disk before you use it for storing data. Before you begin the
format, make sure the disk doesn’t contain anything you want to save.
Formatting a disk will erase all data stored on it.
