Im assuming you mean a floppy disk and not a SCSI drive. You may have damaged either the Read/Write heads or the pin that reads if a disk is locked or not. Those pieces are easy to snap off if you force a floppy disk.

I have a Performa 575 running System 7.5 with 20 meg of memory<br />
I had a disk last week that wouldn't come of the machine, but I finally got it out and every since then the machine reads all the disks as locked even if when they are not locked.<br />
<br />
This is the message I have been getting:<br />
You can't copy onto the disk because the disk is locked.<br />

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
