XP NTFS and floppies

[M31]

I use XP Home (OEM) set up on NTFS. For the first time in ages I went to save something on a 1.44 disc. I keep getting an error message saying the disc is write protected or the wrong file system? I tried 5 or 6 more discs and still get the same message.

Could anyone offer some advice on this

did you try to check the disk if it is phisically right protected, try to move the pin to the other side .

fares is right; the problem is to seek somewhere else.
XP like all other m$ os's uses fat12 for a floppie. It's only harddrive partitions that are formatted ntfs (except if you use one or another 3rd party trick to format the foppy ntfs).

edit: added the (part).

Yeah I moved the slider to a different position still the same thing persists?

I'll phone the manufacturers tech support line.
