Note: You need to format your blank diskettes before you can use them

with your operating system. Refer to your MS-DOS or other operat-

ing system manual for instructions on how to format your blank

diskettes.

There are two ways to avoid losing the valuable information stored on

your disks; write-protect your diskettes and make backup copies. Both of
these methods are described below.

You can write-protect a diskette to prevent its data from being altered.

When a diskette is write-protected, you can 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, an error message displays.

To write-protect a 

   diskette, cover the small, rectangular notch-

shown in Figure 2-4, with an adhesive write-protect tab. Write-protect tabs
usually come with new 

 diskettes when you buy them.

To unwrite-protect a 

   diskette, remove the write-protect tab.

On a 

 

diskette, the write-protect device is a small switch on the

lower-right corner on the back, shown in Figure 2-5. 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.
