The only brand of diskette I have had problems with is Wabash: apart from
sounding like I've got the cleaning disk in when the drive starts, they
are so tight in the sleeve that they won't centre properly on the drive
head, and so I have to centre them by hand before I insert them !!!

As for losing data, this hasn't happened to me ... yet! In case you're
interested, I've used Verbatim (my favourite), Maxell, Wabash and Memorex.
