Media Care
This section provides tips on protecting data stored on your discs and
diskettes.
Handle your media with care. The following simple precautions will increase
the lifetime of your media and protect the data stored on it:
1. Store your discs in the container they came in to protect them and keep
them clean.
2. Do not bend the disc.
3. Do not write on, apply a sticker to, or otherwise mar the surface of the
disc that contains data.
4. Hold the disc by its outside edge or the edge on the center hole.
Fingerprints on the surface can prevent the drive from properly reading
data.
5. Do not expose to direct sunlight, or extreme heat or cold, and do not
place heavy objects on your discs.
