I have a strange problem with a new floppy drive I installed. It is a
Teac 3.5, 144MB and the cables are installed correctly. As a matter of
fact, the drive will read floppys, but when I try to format, or write
to a floppy I get a "disk write protected" error. It does this with
any brand of floppy with the "write protect" tab open or closed. Win
XP Device Mgr. tells me that the drive and controller are working
properly. Any one have any ideas?


Have you gone to the store and bought brand new PC formatted floppies?
Also the whole is suppost to be covered for writing. Make sure that
it click into place.
