So my 5.25" floppy drive reads fine from what I've tested, but I was reading my Star Saga One floppy and when I took it out, I noticed a ring near the outer edge of the disk, and some coating coming off near the center hub.
I tested a NOS Polaroid DataRescue disk I had, fresh out the box, and it wasn't getting those rings, so I'm assuming the coating is coming off of the Star Saga disk. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? Maybe cause it to rebind to the magnetic disk itself?
Although I didn't get any rings, I noticed I was getting these scratches and scuffs on the disk at the center hub.
I'm guessing this the the work of the drive itself, but I'm not very familiar with 5.25" drives. Is this normal? Can I adjust my drive somehow to prevent this from happening?
