Floppy Disk

Keep Away From Magnets

SUMMARY: Magnets or magnetic waves can be very harmful to floppy disk media.

When handling floppy disks, be they 5 1/4 or 3 1/2's, be sure to keep them away from magnets or magnetic fields as they can possibly damage the media! This includes your computer monitor as well. Even refrigerator magnets, if placed nearby or on a floppy disk, can cause problems.
