From which platform? From a Windows platform, insert the floppy into your disk drive. You can do this any number of ways but I'll give you the two easiest for me: 1. Right click on start, hit explore, drag your data to the disk drive. It will copy it, not move it. Remove disk. 2. In the program that opens the data you want to transfer (so perhaps Word for a paper you wrote), have the data open in the window, click on File, Save As, and Save it to your floppy drive (usually drive A). Close program. Remove disk.
First of all, I dont think anyone still has floppy disks,but to transfer the info you must transfer your data from the disk to your computer then transfer it to your other floppy disk.
In older DOS there was a command to do this without having to store the file(s) onto a host computer:
diskcopy a: a:
This would copy everything on the floppy in the A: drive and prompt you to extract the disk and insert a formatted floppy into A:. The new floppy would then be written without any further interaction.
There are two simple ways to format a floppy with abootable system in Windows 98.
# Insert a blank or re-purposed floppy into the drive. # Open "My Computer" # Right-click the floppy drive. # Select "Format" # In the dialog box, select "Full" and check "Copy System Files." # Click "Ok. # Insert a blank or re-purposed floppy into the drive. # Click "Start" # Select "Run" # Type "command" in the box. # Click "Ok" # In the command prompt, type in "format A: /S" without the quotation marks. # Hit Enter.
Place diskette in the computer.
Open My Computer, right-click the A: drive and click Format.
In the Format window, check Create an MS-DOS startup disk.
Click Start
Using a boot floppy actually has little to do with Windows XP itself, as you are bypassing Windows XP when you use one. To use a boot floppy, place it in your floppy disk drive and reboot. If your computer is configured to boot from the floppy drive, it will boot automatically. If it isn't, you will need to enter your BIOS setup and change the boot order so that the floppy drive is the first boot device.

How do you make a disk write protected?
For a CD-ROM to become write-protected, it must either be full, or have it's sessions closed so that no further data can be written to the disk. Here is a brief explanation of disc sessions: Data burned to a CD or DVD is laid out in sessions. These sessions are composed of a lead-in which holds the table of contents for the disc. Next is the lead out. A blank CD or DVD can only acquire 99 tracks per session. Sometimes multiple sessions are required to burn all content to DVD or CD media. In these cases, the lead in contains an "address" or directions that clue the new session in on the previous burn session history. So in summary, the odds are that your disc can no longer have information added to it.
