can not write to floppy drive

[will4green]

I am trying to save something to a floppy disk, every time i try i get an error message saying I'm not allowed, I am currently in root getting this, I try to set permissions it says "Changing the attributes of files is not supported with protocol devices." anyone have any idea what's wrong?

I re-read your post, you are already in root? I use Slackware and it's default floppy entry is owner (root), ro (read only). Writing to the floppy is impossible even as root.

/etc/fstab
If owner,ro change to users,rw

This is the only change I make to write to the floppy as user.

You could add your user to group floppy. If need be.
