Care of diskettes
Each diskette has a rigid plastic cover, with a metal
shutter that guards the disk surface. Never touch the
exposed surface under the shutter – you could deform
the disk or leave a fingerprint that might make the
diskette difficult to read.
Keep diskettes away from dust, moisture, magnetic
objects, and equipment that generates magnetic fields.
Also, avoid extremes of temperature and exposure to
direct sunlight. Otherwise, data recorded on the
diskette may become corrupted.
Write-protecting a diskette


A diskette can be write-protected by sliding a tab
towards the edge of the diskette to expose the
small hole beneath it. Note that the location of
the tab depends on the type of diskette.

You can read, copy or print the files on a write-
protected diskette, but you cannot create, rename or
delete any files.
