|A.1.4 Write-Protecting Diskettes
It is possible to format a diskette or write (record) information onto a
diskette unintentionally. Important information could be lost. For this
reason, you should write-protect important diskettes. Some diskettes like
the Reference Diskette are permanently write protected. When diskettes
are write protected, you can read from the diskettes, but you cannot write
onto them.
To locate the write-protect switch, turn the diskette over with the label
facing down.
- To prevent writing onto a diskette, slide the switch down.
| - To enable writing onto a diskette, slide the switch up.
