During the summer months, Computing Services delivers either new or used items depending on what was approved. Computing Services does not provide support for these specially acquired items. DSHD diskettes have a write-protect tab which can slide to cover a hole on the corner of the diskette. When this hole is not covered, the computer cannot write any information to the diskette. Cover this hole to protect important information.
Many diskettes come pre-formatted for PCs.
We recommend that you format a new diskette. Give the diskette a name. Click on Erase. Double-click on the My Computer icon. Select Format from the menu that appears.
