Turn the floppy disk so that the metal ring with the two holes is facing you, and the metal shutter is pointed towards the floor. Look at the top left corner. You will see a plastic tab. When the tab is open (creating two holes at the top of the disk), the disk is write-protected. When the tab is closed, the disk can be written to.

Does a floppy disk drive use laser beam to read and wright?
No. A laser is not used to read or right to a floppy disk.The laser is usedto read and right data to an optical disk such as a dvd or cd. The floppy disk is a magnetic storage medium. A read right head is basically a small coil. When a current is passed thru the read/right head, itgenerates a magnetic field which aligns the small particles on the floppy disk in one of two directions. the direction of the particle indicates a 1 or 0which is the essence of data on a computer. to find out more details of the construction of a floppy disk and how data is saved, google floppy disk.
What are the main types of magnetic storage devices?
Previous Answer: two types of magnetic disc are magnetic tapes and compact disc Actually neither of the above are correct. Magnetic "Tape" is exactly that it is a tape, a long slender ribbon which comes in two formats that I know of which are "cartridge" and "reel to reel". Compact Disk is an optical media. There are several types or formats of Magnetic Disk, sizes and capacities vary. Fixed Disk: Hard Disk otherwise referred to as HDD. It can have one or more disc platters made of aluminum alloy or glass with a thin magnetic layer bond. These magnetic disks or platters are sealed within the enclosure. Size 1.8", 2.5", 3.5", 5.25", 8", 12" Removable Media: Floppy Disk, removable disks that can be in a hard or soft shell enclosure. The disk itself is a plastic with a magnetic layer bond and is "floppy" one or both sides can be used depending on the disk. sizes range from 3.5", 5.25" to 8" Floptical, the likes of a floppy however one side is magnetic for storage, the other is optical for head positioning. Size, 3.5" Cartridge Disk, similar to the floppy or floptical but the cartridge actually contains a platter the likes of that within an HDD. Size 5.25", 8" that I know of.
Give two advantages of using an encyclopedia stored on CD-rom rather than on floppy disk?
The 3.5" floppy disk is defunkt now, it is rarely if ever used, so to be able to procure one would be hard and then finding a new computer on which to use it would be difficult. If a floppy disk drive is available the volume of information that can be stored on it is minimal. A floppy disk can store around 1.44Mb wheras a conventional CD can store from 600 - 800Mb.
What are the two types of optical drives?
CDR CDRW DVDR DVDRW Blueray
How many floppy drives can connect one floppy drive cable inside a computer case?

Explain how the two available drives on FDD data cable are distinguished?
Floppy data cable is 34 pin flat cable having two connectors for floppy drive. The floppy drive connected at the end connector is A: and the another connector disk is B:..
