To protect the data on your floppy disks or to prevent a floppy
disk from becoming stuck in your computer, avoid the fol-
lowing:
• Sliding the shutter on the floppy disk manually.
• Exposing the disk to a magnetic field.
• Storing the disk in locations prone to high temperatures, low
pitched noise, dampness, or dust.
• Applying more than one label on the disk.
Confirm the contents of a floppy disk before formatting
it.
Confirm that no important data is on the disk, because all
data on the disk will be erased.
Use the write-protect tab.
