The surface of a 5 

 diskette is exposed by the

read/write slot. Always hold the diskette by its protective

jacket and never touch the magnetic surface. The oils on

your fingertips can damage it.

Do not place anything on top of your diskettes, and be sure
they do not get bent. A diskette does not rotate properly in

the drive if it has been damaged.

Carefully label your diskettes and be sure to indicate the
diskette type and density. Attach labels firmly but gently,

and only along the top of a diskette (next to the

manufacturer’s label). Do not stick several labels on top of
one another; too many labels can make it difficult to insert

and remove the diskette in the drive.

It is best to write on a diskette label before you attach it to
the diskette. If you need to write on a label that is already

on the diskette, use only a soft-tip pen-not a ballpoint pen

or a pencil.

Store diskettes in their protective envelopes and in a proper
location, such as a diskette container. Do not store diskettes
flat or stack them on top of each other.

You can write-protect a diskette to prevent its data from being

altered. When a diskette is write-protected, you can read it and
copy data from it, but you cannot store new 

data 

on the diskette

or delete any files it contains. If you try to change data stored on

a write-protected diskette, MS-DOS displays an error message.
