About floppy disks Floppy Disks
U
A floppy disk is a magnetized disk that can store up to 400 single-
spaced pages of text. Every floppy disk is enclosed in its own pro
tective cover. The front of this cover is smooth, while the back
has visible seams. You should always place labels on the front of
the cover, at the top, so that the label doesn't touch the magnetic
surface of the disk. It's also a good idea to use a felt-tip pen when
writing on labels — a pencil or ballpoint pen can damage the disk
if you press too hard.

You should store floppy disks in a safe place, away from dust,
moisture, magnetism, and extreme temperatures. Be sure to label
each disk you use, since labels help you identify what files are on
the disk and remind you that the disk has information stored on it.
