DISK DRIVES AND DISKETTES/Chapter 4
CAUTION
Never remove
a
diskette from the T1100 PLUS or turn
off the computer when either of the
Disk in Use
lights is
on. This light indicates when the diskette is in use; if
a
diskette is removed when the computer is accessing or
retrieving data, information on the diskette may be
damaged.
Write Protecting 3 1/2" Diskettes
3 1/2" diskettes have a plastic write protect tab located on the comer of
the diskette (see Figure 4/A). To write protect a 3 1/2" diskette, slide
the tab to uncover the small hole. When this hole is exposed, the
computer cannot alter the information on the diskette.
To remove write protection, slide the tab to cover up the hole.
Labeling 3 1/2" Diskettes
Each box of diskettes comes with press-on labels in multiple colors for
your labeling convenience. Diskettes that contain programs or data
should be labeled immediately. Points to keep in mind when labeling
diskettes are:
D
The external labels discussed in this section are not to be
confused with the internal diskette label put on the diskette with
the FORMAT command.
D
Only use press-on labels designed for use on diskettes; most
diskette manufacturers include labels with the diskettes they sell.
D
4/10
If you need to write on a label after it has been put on a diskette,
use only a soft, felt-tip pen. Writing with a ball point pen or
pencil can damage a diskette.
