The hard plastic case has a slider in it which you can use to open or close the notch as you want. When the notch is open the disk is write protected.
check to make sure the disk is not write protected. there is a little tab on a corner of the disk that prevents overwriting.
There is a small slide-switch on the floppy to write or protect
It is a good idea to write protect on a floppy disk because it is a back to make sure the disk doesn't get overwritten. A disk can also be write protected by pushing a small tab on top of the disk to reveal a hole.
you need to "write protect" your floppy disk.if you turn the floppy disk over you will see a little tab on the lower right hand corner,push this tab down until you can see the hole through it.your disk is now write protected and cannot be overwritten.
dick lick the disk till it splashes
Turn the floppy disk so that the metal ring with the two holes is facing you, and the metal shutter is pointed towards the floor. Look at the top left corner. You will see a plastic tab. When the tab is open (creating two holes at the top of the disk), the disk is write-protected. When the tab is closed, the disk can be written to.
I am trying to format a dvd/rw disk but it is write protected. how do i unlock it?
A piece of hardware to read and write floppy disks.
Yes. The write protection notch is the same for USB, floppy, and other portable media. What is is supposed to do is prevent changing of the data, not reading of the data, on the disk.
If the same data is already in the floppy disk or any other disk, and you are again copying the same data, then it is called the overwriting ..
a floppy disk slot is what you put the floppy disk in on a CPU
For you to write to a disk, the write-protect notch must be closed.
