    your floppy is write protected. To un-write protect your floppy, eject it,
    and turn it over. Standard 3.5" floppies will have a small black tab in
    the upper-left corner - slide it down so it covers the hole. If your 3.5"
    floppy does not have a black tab, it is permanently write protected, and
    you should get another floppy.
