How to Allow Writing to a Diskette
You can physically protect a diskette (write-protect it) so that data cannot be erased
or overwritten. Once you have write-protected a diskette, additional information
cannot be saved on it. When you no longer want to protect the information on a
diskette, you can change it back to write-enable status and once again write and
store information on it.
What to Do
1. Turn the diskette upside-down and find the write-protect tab.
2. Push the tab away from the diskette’s edge as far as it will go.
Use a ballpoint pen or other implement. When the notch is covered, the diskette
is write-enabled.
