Write-protecting Diskettes

You can write-protect a diskette to prevent its data from being

altered. When a diskette is write-protected, you can read it and

copy data from it, but you cannot store new data on it or delete

any files it contains.

On a 3.5-inch diskette, the write-protect device is a small switch

on the back of the diskette in the lower right corner, shown

below. To write-protect a 3.5-inch diskette, slide the switch

toward the edge of the diskette until it clicks into position,

exposing a hole in the corner.

To remove the write protection, slide the switch toward the

center of the diskette until it clicks into position and the hole is

covered.
