Removing a diskette
Before attempting to remove a diskette, ensure that the drive
is not currently in use (the diskette activity indicator must be
unlit).
Press the
EJECT
button. The drive mechanism disengages and
the diskette is ejected halfway out of the drive.
Write-protecting a diskette
A diskette can be write-protected by sliding the small tab
toward the edge of the diskette to expose the little hole
beneath it (as shown below). With the tab in this position, you
can read or print files from the diskette, but you cannot create,
rename or delete any files.

Using the 5.25" floppy disk drive
Your computer may be configured with a 5.25" floppy disk
drive. This drive can read and write double-sided disks with a
formatted capacity of either 1.2 Mbytes (if marked “HD” or
“high density”) or 360 Kbytes (if marked “DD” or “double
density”).
Each floppy disk is sealed into a flexible plastic envelope with
a long, rounded aperture through which the read/write heads
of the disk drive can meet the disk surface. You must never
touch the exposed surface of the disk yourself.
