Using the Diskette Drive
Most diskettes contain a write-protect tab. The write-protect tab prevents
accidental changes to a diskette. When the hole is open, the diskette is
write-protected—you can’t delete, copy, or save information on the
diskette. When the hole is closed, you may write to or modify the diskette
contents. Just slide the write-protect tab to open and close the hole.
