What method do you use to access your floppy?

o.  mtools?
o.  KDE/Gnome icon?
o.  Standard mount command?
o.  Something else?

Please post the exact syntax of any commands you are typing,
along with the contents of your /etc/fstab file,  AND the 
exact error message you are receiving.

Two more things.  Sorry, but I'm required to ask . . .   :{)
You did make sure your diskette isn't write protected, right?
And your diskette has enough free space for the file(s) you
are trying to copy to it, right?  (you're sure, right? :)
