Media care
This section provides tips on protecting data stored on your CD/DVDs and
floppy disks.
Handle your media with care. The following simple precautions will
increase the lifetime of your media and protect the data stored on them:
CD/DVDs
1. Store your CD/DVDs in the container they came in to protect them and
keep them clean.
2. Hold the CD/DVD by its outside edge or the edge on the center hole.
Fingerprints on the surface can prevent the drive from properly reading
data.
3. If your CD/DVDs become dusty or dirty, wipe them with a clean dry
cloth. Wipe from the center out, do not wipe in a circular direction
around the CD/DVD. If necessary, use a cloth dampened in water or a
neutral cleaner. Do not use benzine, thinner or similar cleaner.
4. Take proper care of your CD/DVDs to avoid data loss or damage to the
disc or to the optical drive.
■ Never bend a CD/DVD.
■ Never damage the surface of a CD/DVD.
■ Never place the CD/DVD in direct sunlight.
■ Never expose the CD/DVD to extreme heat or cold.
■ Never place a heavy object on a CD/DVD.
■ Never write on, or otherwise mar, the read surface of a CD/DVD.
