Media care
This section provides tips on protecting data stored on your CD’s, DVD’s and
oppy diskettes. Handle your media with care. Following the simple precautions
listed below will increase the lifetime of your media and protect the data stored on
it.
CD/DVDs
1. Store your CD’s and DVD’s in the containers they originally came in to protect
them and keep them clean.
2. Do not bend the CD’s or DVD’s.
3. Do not write on, apply a sticker to, or otherwise mar the surface of the CD or
DVD that contains the data.
4. Hold the CD or DVD by its outside edge or the edge on the center hole - any
fingerprints on the surface of the disc can prevent the drive from properly
reading data.
5. Do not expose the CD or DVD to direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold.
