Using Your 3.5-Inch Floppy Disk Drive Operating the Floppy Drive Transferring Data To and From a Floppy Diskette This section describes how to transfer data (reading and writing) to and from your floppy diskette using the HP-UX tar command with your floppy drive's device file. You need to set the write-protect tab to the write position to transfer data to the diskette. The write-protect tab can be in either position when restoring data from a diskette or listing the files on a diskette. Saving Files to a Floppy Diskette Use the following instructions to save files to a floppy diskette: 1. Check the write-protect tab on the floppy diskette to ensure that it is in the write position. 2. Load the formatted floppy diskette into the disk drive. 3. Type the following command in a terminal window at the prompt and press Enter: tar -cvf devicefile pathname where devicefile is the device file as listed by SAM (see the section "Using Device Files" in this chapter), and pathname is the path name of the file or directory containing files that you want to write to the diskette.
