it depends on what type of disk if it is a 3.5 inch floppy then there is a tab on the corners that can be moved up or down. if you can see through it , it is write protected if not it can be used.

The question doesn't really make much sense, since a standard DVDR is a once write read many (WORM) disc.

If using a Packet Incremental Format a finalised (or closed) disc cannot be altered.

If you are asking about a rewritable DVDRW then there is no write protection on this. You simply reformat the DVDRW. However if you are asking how to defeat copy protection system for films or video game DVD's then that violates copyright.

For a floppy disk, you move the write-protect tab so so that it is not blocking the hole. If you are referring to a hard disk then that would most likely be a software solution. For a CD/DVD, most are write-once read-many (WORM)

There is no write protect on a CD-RW. It can be formatted and re-used at any time -- at least so long as the substrate remains writeable.

What causes a PS3 disk to corrupt?

For the most part, disc errors are cause by scratches and swirls on the disc face, but they can also be caused by moving the PS3 while the game disc is in it, if the disc is dropped on the ground, or if the disc is flexed beyond a reasonable limit.


What is a removable disk on a computer?

Because the term 'disc' or 'disc' refers to several different memory formats, 'removable disk' designates those which can be removed and replaced without opening the computer's case. There are a number of different types of removable discs, such as; A floppy disc. Originally an 8 inch disc, this format has shrunk to 3 1/2 inches. Many new computers do not have floppy disc drives, because the format can only hold 1.4 megabytes per disc. There have been several 3 1/2 inch optical disc drives created, which are similar to CD-R/W drives, in that the disc is written to and read by a laser. These drives can be mounted in place of a floppy drive, and have capacities of 20 megabytes, or more. CD-ROM -R/W The compact disc, a 5 inch optical Read Only Memory format, is generally thought of as an audio format, but was adapted for use by computers shortly after its introduction. Many computers can now boot from a CD, and most software is sold on CD. The Read/Write CD drive is now over ten years old, and was introduced as a way to store and transfer data. Drives that can write to a CD are called 'burners', but can only write to special CD's, called CD-R/W or Read/Write. DVD-ROM - R/W. With the introduction of the Digital Video Disc, the amount of data that could be stored on a 5 inch optical disk increased dramatically. The DVD format has gone through the same evolution as the CD format, in that a burner type drive was introduced some years after the ROM drive. However, DVD discs will not work in CD drives, although most DVD drives can read CD's. Generally, a computer will refer to CD and DVD drives under the general heading of CD-ROM drives. The most common use of 'removable disc' is the 3 1/2 inch floppy.
