To write protect or write enable a +3 disk

1. If the disk drives window is hidden, click +3 Disk Drives on the View menu.

2. Click the lock icon next to the disk image you want to write-protect or write-enable.

Write protect states

	The disk is write-enabled. Any changes written by the Spectrum are automatically committed to disk.
	The disk is write-protected. Any attempts by the Spectrum to write to the disk will produce Disk 'write' protected errors.
	The disk is write-protected and cannot be write enabled. The disk is probably on read-only media such as CD-ROM or DVD. Any attempts by the Spectrum to write to the disk will produce Disk 'write' protected errors.

Note

• Disk images on read-only media such as CD-ROMs or DVDs are always write-protected.

• Treat disk image files just like the real thing - do not reset the Spectrum or exit Spectaculator while the Spectrum is reading or writing to a disk image.
