Using Optical Disks

Write-Protecting an Optical Disk

Each side of an optical disk can be write-protected by sliding the

write-protect button in the direction of the arrow on the cartridge (see

Figure 2-2).

With rewritable optical disks, write-protecting the disk prevents

overwriting existing files and prevents any additional file being written

to the disk.

With write-once optical disks, existing files cannot be altered or erased

regardless of whether or not the write-protect button has been set.

However, setting the button to write-protect prevents writing additional

files to the disk.
