Protection and use of floppy disks [Copy link]

　　In order to better protect the floppy disk, the following points are listed:
　　
　　By making a few holes on the floppy disk, the floppy disk can be operated from multiple points at the same time, which can greatly
improve the data access speed.

　　Spray insecticide on floppy disks regularly to prevent the spread of viruses.

　　You can put the floppy disk in the place where fruits are stored in the refrigerator to keep the data fresh, but the floppy disk
may be frozen. You can thaw it in a microwave or by soaking it in boiling water.

　　Do not insert the floppy disk into the drive upside down, as the data will
fall off and jam the drive, rendering it inoperable.

　　Be sure to label the floppy disk. Use staples to permanently secure the label to the floppy disk.

　　If the floppy disk is full, you can take the disk out of the drive and shake it vigorously for two minutes.
This will compress the data (also called data compression) and create more space on the floppy disk.
Note that when shaking the disk, seal all openings to prevent data from falling out.

Over time, floppy disks will become "hard" disks, so it is important to back up the data on these "hard" disks 　　before the floppy disks become brittle .

　　Clean and wax the floppy disk once a week. When waxing, keep the surface of the floppy disk level,
which will make the floppy disk move faster and access faster. Do not place the floppy disk close to a magnet, because
the magnet will attract the tiny particles on the floppy disk. The uneven places on the floppy disk can
be smoothed .
