To remove a 3½-inch diskette, press the release button to release it. When the edge pops out of the drive, pull out the diskette and store it properly. WARNING Never remove a diskette or turn off the computer while the drive indicator light is on. You could lose data. Also, be sure to remove all diskettes before you turn off the computer. Write-protecting Diskettes You can write-protect a diskette to prevent its data from being altered. When a diskette is write-protected, you can read it and copy data from it, but you cannot store new data on the diskette or delete any files it contains. If you try to change data stored on a write-protected diskette, MS-DOS displays an error message. To write-protect a 5¼-inch diskette, cover the small, rectangular notch (shown below) with an adhesive writeprotect tab. Write-protect tabs usually come with new 5¼-inch diskettes when you buy them. To remove the write protection, peel off the write-protect tab.
