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, an error message dis-
plays.
To write-protect a 514inch diskette, cover the small, rectangular notch
shown in Figure 3-1 with an adhesive write-protect tab. Write-protect tabs
usually come with new 5Kinch diskettes when you buy them. To unwrite-
protect a 5!4inch diskette, remove the write-protect tab.
On a 3Sinch diskette, the write-protect device is a small switch on the
lower-right corner on the back, shown in Figure 3-2. To write-protect this
diskette, slide the switch down toward the edge of the diskette so there is a
hole where the switch used to be.
