TAKING CARE OF YOUR DISKS

These floppy disks contain valuable sound data and, as such, should be treated with

extreme care. Please observe the following points, therefore:

1 Never slide the metal cover back and touch the disk. Finger marks may render the

disk unreadable.

2 Don’t leave the disk in the drive wherever possible. When the disk is in the drive, the

metal protective cover slides back exposing the actual disk inside - this makes the disk

susceptible to picking up dust which may cause read errors.

3 Do not leave your disks in a hot car.

4 Do not place your disks next to any magnetic sources such as speakers, amplifiers,

televisions, etc.. Also, try to avoid X-ray machines. At airports, it is sometimes possible

to ask for your disks to be inspected by hand at security desks but, with the added

security at airports these days, this may not be possible. Always check with the

security officer though, just in case. Security X-ray machines are generally safe with

disks, though. If in doubt, make backup copies which should be left at home.

NOTE: Some checked in luggage is X-rayed by quite powerful machines that are not as

safe as those that check hand luggage. It is probably best to take your disks as hand

luggage.

5 Do not leave your disks around when drinking liquids - one accidental spillage could

ruin a lot of work!

6 Always use high quality disks. Whilst cheap ones may be appealing, they are prone to

errors more than good ones.

7 Try to ensure that the write protect tab is switched on (i.e. the tab blocks the hole).

This will prevent accidental erasure, formatting and loss of data. It may be a nuisance

to try to write to the disk and find it write protected but it is less of a nuisance than

accidentally over-writing a set of your favourite samples and programs!

8 Try to get into the habit of labelling your disks - it will pay dividends in the end when

you are searching for something.

9 Invest in a sturdy carrying case for your floppies especially if you are a gigging

musician. Heavy duty metal camera cases are ideal and some flight case

manufacturers now make special heavy duty disk flightcases.

10 Even if you are using a hard disk of any sort, please make sure you have backed up

your work to floppy disks. It can be time consuming but it will be worth it if you ever

have a problem with your hard disk!
