0 dgelessus 26 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Wipe the HD on which you installed the OS (by putting it into a crafting grid) and use the OpenOS floppy to boot. Hard disks are always writable, and floppies added by the mod (such as the OpenOS floppy) are read-only. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

0 dgelessus 26 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 No, there's no way to make a hard drive or floppy disk read-only. The only thing you could do is write a custom operating system that doesn't allow writing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
