I don't think the disk
could be considered a document. It is only the carrier or the medium --
like the cigar box that contains the love letters or the stamp collection
someone is giving you. The "document(s)" is the data, images, or text
stored on the disks.

Allow me
a stupid question, probably:
Can
the computer hard disks be considered "documents", from archival point of
view?
Thanks,
