3. If the problem persists in the new diskette drive, make sure the diskette is the correct type for your drive. See Chapter 3 for more information on appropriate diskette types and storage capacities. 4. If your diskette is the right type for your drive, check whether the diskette is write-protected. There may be a write-protect tab over the notch on the side of the diskette (5¼-inch) or the write-protect switch may be set (on a 3½-inch diskette). See Chapter 3 for information on writeprotecting diskettes. Some application programs do not function properly if the diskette is write-protected. Check your application program manual. 5. If MS-DOS displays errors when you try to access data, your diskette may be defective. MS-DOS error messages that may indicate a defective diskette include these: Disk Drive Error: Abort, Ignore, Retry? Disk error reading drive d : Disk error writing drive d : If you see one of these messages, make sure the diskette is properly placed in the diskette drive and the diskette drive latch is closed. Try the operation again. If the problem persists, try removing the diskette and reinserting it. This may solve the problem if the diskette was not seated properly in the drive. If the error message still occurs, you probably have a defective diskette. Use the MS-DOS COPY command to copy the files from the diskette onto another diskette. See "Copying Files" in Chapter 4 for instructions.
