•Always make backup copies of the diskettes that contain important data or program files.

•Keep diskettes away from magnetic fields and sources of heat.

•When you put a label on a 3.5-inch diskette, make sure that the label is properly attached (flat on the surface) and within the labeling area (area with a slight surface depression) on the diskette. An improperly attached label may cause a diskette to get stuck in a drive when you are inserting or removing it.
