Write-Protecting an Optical Disk

Each side of an optical disk can be write-protected by sliding the write-protect
button in the direction of the arrow on the cartridge (see Figure 2-2).

With rewritable optical disks, write-protecting the disk prevents overwriting
existing files and prevents any additional file being written to the disk.

With write-once optical disks, existing files cannot be altered or erased regardless of
whether or not the write-protect button has been set. However, setting the button to
write-protect prevents writing additional files to the disk.
