I need to use a Floppy Disk for a project, and have come across a simple yet perplexing problem; which was and which side up do you put the floppy in? Do you keep the part with the circular part up? Do you stick it in the direction that the metal part is on?

DO NOT TOUCH THE FILM THAT THE CIRCULAR PART HOLDS. Sorry for the caps. It stores the data, and it will kill your floppy. [ sbloemeke's advice column | Ask sbloemeke A Question ]
