Handling Floppy Disks. 3.5I floppy disks are easy to store and use. However, to
prevent them from being damaged and to ensure the integrity of the data stored
on them, you should be careful of the following:
H Do not place disks near a strong magnetic field or near a ferromagnetic
substance that may cause them to be magnetized, as this will corrupt the data
stored on the disk and result in errors.
H Do not expose disks to direct sunlight or high temperatures for long periods
of time. Also, avoid storing them in places subject to extreme cold or high
humidity. When bringing disks into a room from outside, do not use them
immediately; let them become acclimated to the environment before use.
H Do not touch the recording medium on the surface of the disk. Fingerprints
on the surface of the disk may cause the heads to skip, resulting in errors.
H When storing disks for long periods of time, be sure to place them in their
protective cases.
H Be sure to place labels in the proper location on the disks.
H Do not press the eject button on the disk drive to eject the floppy disk while
the indicator light is lit. This may cause the data stored on the disk to
become corrupted, resulting in errors.
Protecting Disks From Accidental Erasure. There is a write protect tab on the
underside of the floppy disk. To lock the disk, press this tab down toward the
edge of the disk to expose the little hole underneath, as shown in Figure 3 -179.
Locking the disk will prevent it from being written to or erased. To unlock the
disk and enable it to be written to or erased, move the tab back toward the center
of the disk so it covers the hole.
