There is an easy way to change a floppy disk to read only. Just go into Explorer, right click on the floppy disk, and check the 'read only' box.
A floppy disk DRIVE can read, erase and save information on a floppy disk. The disk can't do it by himself.
To read a floppy disk, you insert a floppy disk into a floppy disk drive. Not all computers have floppy disk drives. Typically desktop computers or ones that stand on the floor have floppy disk drives. New machines today allow a USB thumb drive (USB flash memory storage device) to be used in place of a floppy drive. All modern computersy have USB connections. If you need to read a floppy disk and you computer does not have a floppy disk drive, you can purchase a USB connected floppy disk drive for your computer.
When you slide the notch downwards, it makes Floppy disk as Read Only..
You can only read the data.. Can't change it..

This means that Windows is unable to read the floppy disk. The floppy disk is likely damaged, and no data can be copied from it.
in a floppy drive, a small pin hits the area where that little switch is on the floppy. if it passes through, the floppy drive detects the floppy as write/read. it it doesn't pass through, the floppy drive detects the floppy as read only
There is no such thing. Windows can only read floppy disks that are in good condition and have a file system it supports, namely FAT12 or FAT16.
A piece of hardware to read and write floppy disks.
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.
I am not sure you can, but you can make the files read only...
The purpose of the plastic (or metal) shutter on a floppy disk is to keep dirt off of the magnetic medium when it is not being read.
