DISK HANDLING
Disks are very important pieces of equipment for anyone who owns a sampler
and they represent many hours of work. As a result, it is important that you
take good care of your disks to ensure reliable operation.
Always use branded, high quality disks. Failure to do so may result in
corrupted data on the disk preventing it from loading properly. Cheap disks
can also damage the heads and we cannot guarantee reliable operation.
Always insert disks straight into the drive, then gently push them all the
way in. Trying to force them into the drive may damage the disk or the drive.
Never bend a disk or store them in a position that is likely to apply
pressure to their cases.
When labelling floppy disks, we recommend the use of felt tip pens. Writing
on disks using ball point pens and pencils can exert undue pressure on their
cases.
Always take care when physically handling your disks. Never pull the
protective metal tab on the top of the disk's case back and touch the actual
disk inside as your sweaty fingers will harm the delicate disk surface.
Always keep your disks away from magnetic sources such as speaker cabinets,
TV sets and video monitors, heat and direct sunlight.
Do not keep the disks in a vehicle for any length of time. Not only will this
will prevent damage from temperature changes and excessive sunlight but will
also reduce the risk of theft.
Always keep disks away from drinks and food in case of accidental spillage.
Always try to keep backup copies of all your disks in case of loss, theft or
damage.
When transporting your disks, try to ensure that they are kept in a solid
case. Not only will such a case protect them whilst in transit, these disk
boxes also allow you to keep your disks in some form of logical order and
will save wasted time hunting for particular disks. If you are 'on the road'
doing live shows, it is a good idea to use a flight cased briefcase container
for transporting your disks.
If you are travelling abroad with your disks, never let your disks pass
through a security X-ray machine as these can damage your disks irreparably.
It is a good idea to keep your disks as hand luggage to prevent airport
officials accidentally putting them through X-ray machines. Most security
officers will comply with your request to keep them away from X-ray machines
as long as you allow them to search the case themselves.
If you are posting a disk, wrap it in kitchen foil to prevent stray X-rays
from damaging the disk. Also, wrap the disk in solid cardboard and a padded
envelope to prevent it from bending - you can buy special cardboard
containers for posting disks and these are recommended. Also label the
envelope 'CAUTION - COMPUTER DISK ENCLOSED' and the postal service will take
good care of it. If the disk is valuable, it is a good idea to send it
recorded or registered delivery.
