Which does not mean anything other than that is how it was formatted
originally. On the physical diskette there should be two holes If they are
both open, then the disk is write protected and cannot be formatted. If one
is closed then it can be formatted. if the diskette does not have a slide
down tab on the left when looking at the back of the disk, then you will
have to put some tape over that hole to format it or even write to it.
