Floppy+disc+Drive+“+A+“

If you are a user of floppy disks ( Those are the small 3 ¼ “ diameter ones in Drive “ A “ ) you must realize that there is a magnet in the middle of the disk.
 * Floppy disc Drive “ A “ **

Do ensure that you do not fiddle with that magnet, or you could, and probably will , lose all of the information you have saved on that disc.

If your disc stops working suddenly, the chances are something happened with the magnet so take note you have been warned.

And as an aside:- Remember this is one of the noisiest pieces of equipment when you power up. Therefore do not panic, and satisfy yourself that it stops when the computer has stopped checking the drive before you high-tail it to the Computer repair shop.
