I haven't tried it on disk labels, but Goo Gone works wonders on similar
labels on all sorts of other surfaces.

Subject: [maybe OT]: Removing pesky floppy disk labels
Hi all,
OK, so here I am sitting at my computer with a stack of 100 or so
disks
to reformat. Unfortunately most of said disks have been labelled using
felt-tip pen. And the labels are the nasty kind that don't come off
without
a fight. Sooo... Has anyone got a method that will get these stupid
things
off without leaving a gummy, sticky residue or damaging my disks? I've
tried
WD40 (didn't work at all), 3-in-1 oil (don't ask), an upside down
airblaster
(freeze spray for half the price) and a few other things and nothing
works!
Anyone want to share their secret?
Thanks.
