Labels
do
help
you keep track
of
your
disks,
but
you may also
need
to
protect
your
disks, Some floppy disks
are
protected,
letting you examine information
on
them
without
letting
you
change anything, These
are
called write-protected disks,
They
usually have a small piece
of
tape, called a tab, covering a
notch
on
the
right side
of
the
disk. You
can
copy
information
onto
a
write-protected
disk by first removing
the
write-protect
tab; how-
ever, you should consider
why
the
disk was
protected
- before
you change its contents, After
you
have
copied
or
changed
a
write-protected
disk it's always a
good
idea
to
replace
the
write-
protect
tab,
