Write-protecting a Disk
HP Series 6000
The write-protect tab on either side of the magneto-optical
(MO) disk can be switched between the write-protect and
write-enable positions. The write-protect position protects
valuable programs and data from being over-written
(see Figure 3-1). When a rewritable optical disk is
write-protected, data can only be read from the disk; no
data can be written onto the disk.
To write-protect a rewritable optical disk, perform the
following steps:
1. Place your thumbnail in the slot on the write-protect
tab.
2. Slide the write-protect tab to the left-hand side of the
plastic case.
When the write-protect tab is in the write-protect
(left-hand) position, an empty round hole will be exposed
on the right-hand side of the write-protect tab.
Write-enabling a Disk
The write-enable position enables data to be written on
the rewritable optical disk. When a rewritable optical
disk is write-enabled, valuable programs and data
may be over-written on the side or sides that are not
write-protected.
To write-enable a rewritable optical disk, perform the
following steps:
1. Place your thumbnail in the slot on the write-protect
tab.
2. Slide the write-protect tab to the right-hand side of the
plastic case.
