Write-protecting diskettes
It's easy to write-protect a diskette to prevent its data
from being altered. When a diskette is write-protected,
you can read data from it, but you cannot store new
data on the diskette or delete any files it contains. If
you try to change data stored on a write-protected
diskette, you get an error message.
To write-protect a diskette, just cover the small,
rectangular notch with an adhesive write-protect tab.
These write-protect tabs usually come in the box with
new diskettes when you buy them.
If you change your mind and want to write to a
diskette, remove the write-protect tab.
