On the back side of your floppy (if your are using a 3 1/2 inch floppy), in the bottom right corner there is a "slide" which determines the status of a floppy if it is write protected. Just slide that across to a new position and you will be able to write to a floppy.

If you are using a 5 1/4 inch floppy remove the "Sticker" from the write protect tab.
