Diskettes
Following are some tips on diskette management:
Always make backup copies of diskettes that contain
important data or program files.
Keep diskettes away from magnetic fields and sources
of heat.
Avoid removing a diskette from a drive when the floppy
drive activity light is on.
Write-protect your diskettes to prevent accidental
erasure. To do this, slide the write-protect tab to the
write-protect position.
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 labelling area (area with slight
surface depression) on the diskette. An improperly
attached label may cause a diskette to get stuck in the
drive when you are inserting or removing it.
