how can I use a write protected disk(31/2 floopy disk) with another documents.?

Question

I tried to copy or save another document in my 3-1/2 floopy disk but it showed message that it is write protected, so please help me to remove its protection or control so that I can use it normally.

Answer 1

If you look at the disk you will see that there is a little switch on the disk that is switched to the locked position. It is about a quater of an inch big. Real hard to miss. Just look at the disk you will see it.

Glad to help.

Answer 2

There should be a little hole on the upper right of the disk with a little plastic thing in it that you can slide up or down. Slide it up to cover the hole to make your floppy writeable.

Answer 3

There's a little hole in the bottom edges of the floppy. One of them has a slide over that has to be moved to cover the hole. That's how you either free or protect the content.

Answer 4

Move the small tab on the 3.5 inch floppy to the unlocked position, you will see a graphical representation of a unlocked lock.....

Answer 5

You've already gotten the right answer, so I'm just picking up 2 points. By the way, people still use floppys???

Answer 6

just check if the diskette is in good condition? also check the disk drive is not failed if you use other diskette.
look the lower right in the back of diskette if notch is in the unlock or not? If lock, you can't save or copy or edit the file in diskette?

Answer 7

Sam is the man! Follow his post! If there isnt a slideable device simply cover it with tape.

Answer 8

If the tab is missing, you can use tape and paper (carefully) to cover the hole.

By the way, jump drives are cheap, and much neater to use.
