Removing a diskette

Before attempting to remove a diskette, make sure that the drive is not currently in use (the diskette activity indicator on the computer’s front bezel must be unlit).

Press the EJECT button on the drive. The drive mechanism disengages and the diskette is ejected half-way out of the drive.

If a diskette becomes stuck in the drive, perhaps because its label has peeled back, do not attempt to remove it with tweezers or any similar implement; you risk damaging the drive. Call an authorized maintainer.

Write-protecting a diskette

A diskette can be write-protected by sliding a small tab towards the edge of the diskette to expose the little hole beneath it (see diagram). With the tab in this position, you can read, copy or print files from the diskette, but you cannot create, rename or delete any files.

The BIOS Setup utility can completely disable the diskette drive.
