Media care

This section provides tips on protecting data stored on your CD/DVDs and 

diskettes.
Handle your media with care. The following simple precautions will 

increase the lifetime of your media and protect the data stored on them:

CD/DVDs

1. Store your CD/DVDs in the container they came in to protect them and 

keep them clean.

2. Do not bend the CD/DVD.
3. Do not write on, apply a sticker to, or otherwise mark the surface of the 

CD/DVD that contains data.

4. Hold the CD/DVD by its outside edge or the edge on the centre hole. 

Fingerprints on the surface can prevent the drive from properly reading 

data.

5. Do not expose to direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold. Do not place 

heavy objects on your CD/DVDs.

6. If your CD/DVDs become dusty or dirty, wipe them with a clean dry 

cloth. Wipe from the centre out, do not wipe in a circular direction 

around the CD/DVD. If necessary, use a cloth dampened in water or a 

neutral cleaner. Do not use benzine, thinner or similar cleaner.

Diskettes

1. Store your diskettes in the container they came in to protect them and 

keep them clean. If a diskette is dirty, do not use cleaning fluid. Clean it 

with a soft damp cloth.

2. Do not slide back the diskette’s protective metal covering or touch the 

diskette’s magnetic surface. Fingerprints may prevent the diskette drive 

from reading data from the diskette.

3. Data may be lost if the diskette is twisted; bent; or exposed to direct 

sunlight, extreme heat or cold.

4. Do not place heavy objects on your diskettes.
5. Do not eat, smoke, or use erasers near your diskettes. Foreign particles 

inside the diskette’s jacket can damage the magnetic surface.

6. Magnetic energy can destroy the data on your diskettes. Keep your 

diskettes away from speakers, radios, television sets and other sources 

of magnetic fields.
