In general, I find if I lubricate my disks before use that the bad data won't
stick to them.  A thick, double-sided coat of Crisco or WD-40 usually does
the trick.  Don't forget to check the oil filter in your Amiga every 10^12
mips!  The only brawback I'm aware of is the tendency for the media to
prematurely eject itself from the slot on occasion, accompanied by a
disgusting slurping noise.
