Write-Protecting Diskettes
Diskettes can be write-protected to prevent files from being accidentally erased or
destroyed. To write-protect a 3.5” floppy diskette, move the built-in write-protect
tab to the write-protect position, (“up” so that you can see through the “hole” in the
upper, right-hand corner of the diskette). Putting the write protect tab back “down’
will enable you to write data on the disk again.
Do’s and Don’ts

m Do not open or remove the protective shutter that covers the diskette’s
media.
