Operating Basics

Floppy disks

1.Store your floppy disks in the container they came in to protect them and keep them clean. If a floppy disk is dirty, do not use cleaning fluid. Clean it with a soft damp cloth.

2.Do not slide back the floppy disk’s protective metal covering or touch the floppy disk’s magnetic surface. Fingerprints may prevent the floppy disk drive from reading data from the floppy disk.

3.Data may be lost if the floppy disk is twisted; bent; or exposed to direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold.

4.Do not place heavy objects on your floppy disks.

5.Do not eat, smoke, or use erasers near your floppy disks. Foreign particles inside the floppy disk’s jacket can damage the magnetic surface.

6.Magnetic energy can destroy the data on your floppy disks. Keep your floppy disks away from speakers, radios, television sets and other sources of magnetic fields.
