Copy Protection
You can copy-protect a floppy disk to prevent accidental storage of
information or viral infection onto that disk by covering the notch on the
side of a 5.25" floppy disk with a write-protect tab or by sliding the small
tab on a 3.5" floppy disk to expose the hole. Refer to the figures below
for how to copy-protect floppy disks.
When a disk is copy-protected, you cannot add new information to it or
change any information on it. To enable copying to the disk, remove
the copy-protecting tab on a 5.25" floppy disk or slide the tab to show
the hole on a 3.5" floppy disk.
