Slide the diskette into the drive until it clicks into place.
To remove a diskette, press the release button to release
the diskette. When it pops out of the drive, pull out the
diskette and store it properly, such as in a special diskette
container.
WARNING
Never remove a diskette or turn off the computer while the
drive indicator light is on. You could lose data. Also be sure to
remove all diskettes before you turn off the computer.
Making backup copies
Make copies of all your data and system diskettes. Copy all
diskettes that contain programs, as you did the master system
diskettes that come with the Equity LT, and use only the
copies. Store your original system diskettes in a safe place away
from your working diskettes. Copy your data diskettes regularly
(preferably every day) to keep them up-to-date, and store them
away from your originals.
Chapter 1 describes how to make a backup copy of your
MS-DOS and reference diskettes. For general instructions on
copying diskettes, see Chapter 4.
If you have a hard disk, keep backup copies of all your
program files on diskettes and regularly copy important data
files to diskettes as well. You can use the MS-DOS BACKUP
command to copy all or part of the files on the hard disk. For
more information, see your MS-DOS manual.
Write-protecting diskettes
You can write-protect a diskette to prevent its data from
being altered. When a diskette is write-protected, you can copy
data from it, but you cannot store new data on the diskette or
delete any files it contains. If you try to change data stored on
a write-protected diskette, an error message displays.
