To remove a 3½-inch diskette, press the release button to
release it. When the edge pops out of the drive, pull out the
diskette and store it properly.
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 the
diskette
or
delete any files it contains. If you try to change data
stored on a write-protected diskette, MS-DOS displays an error
message.
To write-protect a 5¼-inch diskette, cover the small,
rectangular notch (shown below) with an adhesive write-protect
tab. Write-protect tabs usually come with new 5¼-inch
diskettes when you buy them.
