Floppy Disk - Be Careful When Handling Floppies

SUMMARY: Holding a floppy wrong can damage its data.

Never touch the bottom circle on the bottom of a floppy disk as this could damage the media. Also, don't touch the metal read/write window either. Hold floppy disks carefully by their top edge to help prevent damage.
