I'm repairing a computer for a nonbeliever and don't have it up on my 
lan yet. I d'loaded some soundblaster drivers and was trying to write 
the file to a floppy. When I tried to format the floppy on the Gentoo 
box I got  a write protected error so I formatted on the wife's WinXP 
box and tried to mount it back here:

$ mount /mnt/floppy
mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only

relevant line in fstab looks good to me. 
/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy     vfat            noauto,users,auto,rw    0 0
Could my floppy drive have died?
