Using Diskettes
Follow these guidelines when using diskettes with
your computer:
q Always make backup copies of diskettes that
contain important data or program files.
q Keep diskettes away from magnetic fields and
sources of heat.
q Avoid removing a diskette from the drive
when the floppy drive activity light is on.
q Write-protect diskettes to prevent accidental
erasure. To do this, slide the write-protect tab
to the write-protect (open) position so that
you can see through the tab opening.
q When you label a diskette, be sure the label is
firmly attached and completely within the
diskette’s label area (the area with the slight
surface depression). An improperly attached
label can cause the diskette to stick in the
drive.
