My floppy drive won't let me copy files to the disk anymore. I keep getting the message the floppy disk maybe write protected, check and try again.

I checked, its not write protected. I've tried several disk (they're all from different packs) whether its mine, someone elses or new, it does the same thing.

I have a clean install of windows and even that isn't working. I've checked in device manager for any conflicts - none whatsoever.

However, i *can* read and open files on the floppy(s), and copy from the floppy to the hard drive.

I've double checked if any of my floppys are write protected.

What could be wrong? i dunno.
