To write-protect a 5.25-inch diskette, cover the small, rectangular notch (shown below) with an adhesive write-protect tab. Write-protect tabs usually are included in a new package of blank 5.25-inch diskettes.

To remove the write protection, peel off the write-protect tab.

Note

Some program diskettes have no switch or notch so they are permanently write-protected. This protects them from being accidentally erased or altered.
