If you can read from the drive, the head is not faulty. Your drive is
telling the computer that the floppy is write protected. This can be caused
by a bad cable connection, or (more likely) a bad write protect sensor in
the floppy drive. Since the drives are so inexpensive, it is usually not
worth fixing them - just replace the drive. Mine went out recently with a
different problem; it would write to a write protected disk!

Alan - I cannot save to A Drive from any program. I can access the files on
the floppies. I receive a dialog box saying the disc is either 'Write
Protect' or 'Access Denied.'

I will have a computer technician check A Drive. It looks to me like the
head is faulty.
