Using Optical Disks
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.
With rewritable optical disks, the use of the write protect button ensures
data safety for files that have been previously written to the disk and
prevents any additional files 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, the use of the write-protect button will prevent any additional
files being written to a disk.
