Labeling Diskettes
Your original operating system and application diskettes have
permanent labels on their jackets. Blank (unformatted) diskettes
come
with labels for you to write
on
and place
on
the diskettes'
jackets.
Write on them with a felt-tip pen only. Don't erase or scratch out
information on these labels
