To write protect or write enable a Plus D disk image
If the Plus D disk drives window is hidden, click Disk Drives on the View menu.
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 committed to disk when you eject the disk. |
|
The disk is write-protected. Any attempts by the Spectrum to write to the disk will produce Disk 'write' protected errors. |
|
If real disk mode is not enabled, this means 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.
