Floppy disks
1. Store your floppy disks in the container they came in to protect them
and keep them clean. If a floppy disk becomes dirty, clean it with a soft,
lightly dampened cloth - do not use cleaning fluid.
2. Never open the shutter or touch the magnetic surface of your floppy
disk - doing this could permanently damage it and lose data.
3. Always handle floppy disks with care to prevent the loss of stored data.
4. Always apply the floppy disk label in the correct location and never
apply a new label on top of an existing one - in this instance the label
could come loose and damage the floppy disk drive.
5. Never use a pencil for writing on a floppy disk label as the dust from the
pencil lead could cause a system malfunction if it found its way onto the
computer’s components. In this instance, always use a felt-tipped pen
and write the label first before applying it to the floppy disk.
6. Never put a floppy disk in a location where water or other liquid may
make contact with it, or where it is excessively damp - either of these
conditions could cause data loss.
7. Never use a wet or damp floppy disk - this could damage the floppy disk
drive or other devices within the computer.
8. Data may be lost if the floppy disk is twisted, bent, or exposed to direct
sunlight, extreme heat or cold.
9. Do not place heavy objects on your floppy disks.
10. Do not eat, smoke, or use items such as erasers near your floppy disks
as foreign particles inside the jacket of the floppy disk can damage the
magnetic surface.
11. Magnetic energy can destroy the data on your floppy disks. In view of
this you should keep your floppy disks away from speakers, radios,
televisions and other sources of magnetic fields.
