Write-Protecting Diskettes - Epson Equity 386/25 User Manual

Write-protecting Diskettes

You can write-protect a diskette to prevent its data from being
altered. When a diskette is write-protected, you can read it and
copy data from it, but you 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, MS-DOS displays an error message.
To write-protect a 5 ¼-inch diskette, cover the small,
rectangular notch (shown below) with an adhesive write-
protect tab. Write-protect tabs usually come with new 5 ¼-inch
diskettes when you buy them.
To remove the write protection, peel off the write-protect tab.
