	Imation - Diskette Storage Support & FAQs
		Diskettes can handle exposure to low temperatures within reason, but should be allowed to acclimate to room temperature before you try to use them.
		Storing data on a diskette for five years in an area where temperatures are fairly constant (60 to 80 degrees F.), humidity that is controlled and diskette being stored in a storage box so dust doesn't collect on them should not be a problem.
		High-density diskettes (HD) are used in newer computer systems and hold a total formatted capacity of 1.44MB—double the capacity of a DD diskette.

	Diskette support
		For Oberon, a diskette is a medium hosting a single file system which can be mounted just like any other FS residing in a hard disk partition.
		Normally, a diskette driver is automatically installed when a first diskette operation is launched.
		Provided the machine is set-up to boot from diskette first (in the boot sequence), regardless of the number and the location of the Oberon partitions, and regardless of whether a boot manager is installed or not, booting from diskette is a fail-safe way to start Oberon and it is remarkably fast.

	How to create a boot disk.
		Tip: After you have created a boot diskette, it is highly recommended that you write-protect the diskette to prevent possible computer virus infection and to help the diskette from being erased.
		If you are planning to use this diskette as a diskette to load games or you feel that you need mouse support, you will need to copy the mouse driver onto the boot diskette.
		Place the diskette into write-protect mode (in case a virus is on the computer, this will not allow the virus to transfer itself onto the diskette).

		This also explains the name “diskette;" based on its exterior, you'd think it should be called a 'squarette." And, yes, you might call that disk "floppy" because it is not rigid.
		The diskette drive has a small head in it that magnetizes the diskette in patterns that can be read as either ones or zeros.
		First, 3.5-inch diskettes have a harder case that makes them more rugged; and second, the smaller diskettes are more convenient for users to transport and store.

	Working with Diskettes
		The diskette drive clamps the media in the center, and rotates it to gain access to the different areas of the diskette.
		This diskette drive was designed to use "high density" media, which allowed for data to be packed more tightly on the diskette.
		Diskette clamping problems: If the diskette drive does not clamp down on the diskette well, or if it does it off-center, the diskette will be unreadable because it will not spin in a circular pattern.

	A better boot diskette for WinNT/2000/XP
		The diskette is a bootable diskette which does not rely on any file in the root directory of the C: drive.
		The boot code of a DOS/Win9x/ME diskette loads and executes the IO.SYS file whereas that of a WinNT/2000/XP diskette is tied to the NTLDR file.
		If you use a pre-formatted diskette, you must initialize the diskette using the FORMAT command run in the NT/2000/XP environment as described above (don't have the absense of the /S switch in the FORMAT command fool you).

	A better boot diskette for Win9x/ME
		The disketter you prepare with this technique is useful even for a dual-boot system (e.g., 98SE and XP) as long as the disk was installed with a Windows 9x/ME system.
		If your system is too corrupted to come back alive using the Quick-restart diskette, you should use the Windows Emergency Recovery diskette that you made in the installation step.
		Also, note that the files that are on the Quick Boot diskette were originally from the root directory of the system disk (C:).
