Never leave
diskettes in the drive, as the data can leak out of the disk and corrode the
inner mechanics of the drive. Diskettes should be rolled up and stored in pencil
holders.
Diskettes
should be cleaned and waxed once a week. Microscopic metal particles may be
removed by waving a powerful magnet over the surface of the disk. Any stubborn
metal shavings can be removed with scouring powder and steel wool. When waxing a
diskette, make sure the surface is even. This will allow the diskette to spin
faster, resulting in better access time.
Do not fold
diskettes unless they do not fit into the drive. "Big" Diskettes may be folded
and used in "Little" drives.
Never insert
a diskette into the drive upside down. The data can fall off the surface of the
disk and jam the intricate mechanics of the drive.
Diskettes
cannot be backed up by running them through a photo copy machine. If your data
is going to need to be backed up, simply insert TWO diskettes into your drive.
Whenever you update a document, the data will be written onto both disks. A
handy tip for more legible backup copies: Keep a container of iron filings at
your desk. When you need to make two copies, sprinkle iron filings liberally
between the diskettes
before inserting them into the drive.
Diskettes
should not be removed or inserted from the drive while the red light is on or
flashing. Doing so could result in smeared or possibly unreadable text.
Occasionally, the red light remains flashing in what is known as a "hung" or
"hooked" state. If your system is hooking, you will probably need to insert a
few coins before being allowed to access the slot.
If your
diskette is full and needs more storage space, remove the disk from the drive
and shake vigorously for two minutes. This will pack the data enough (data
compression) to allow for more storage. Be sure to cover all openings with
scotch tape to prevent loss of data.
Data access
time may be greatly improved by cutting more holes in the diskette jacket. This
will provide more simultaneous access points to the disk.
Periodically
spray diskettes with insecticide to prevent system bugs from spreading.
Cd Rom Disk
are very useful as Mirror. Always keep at least one CD ROM with you for your
makeup. You can use CDROM for your Shaving Mirror also .
After long
time usage of Disk , It may be very Hot. Don't leave them Hot as their fever may
increase. Use a thermometer to measure the temperature , Prepare a bath for them
to reduce the temperature & call Doctor as soon as possible.
Always keep
the CD Rom in their Case , otherwise there is chance of data-leakage .
